Comments on: Hottest Weekend Of Summer: Heat Index Reaching 110 Degrees http://www.northescambia.com/2018/07/hottest-weekend-of-summer-heat-index-reaching-110-degrees Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Thu, 09 Apr 2026 02:43:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Anne http://www.northescambia.com/2018/07/hottest-weekend-of-summer-heat-index-reaching-110-degrees/comment-page-1#comment-368901 Anne Sat, 21 Jul 2018 20:09:58 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=331328#comment-368901 Took the grands to Johnson's Beach for the day and saw an AMAZING thing. Couple of ladies had a big cooler and went right down to the edge of the water with it and took out a bag of whole Irish potatoes and put that right into the water. Then they sat down and let their kids run while they Kept A Close Rein on them. After about 20 minutes the kids broke out some dip nets and started out into the water with some 5-Gallon plastic buckets from Fire House. They really had our interest. The kids commenced to scooping up nets of crab, shrimp, and a few other sea critters and put them into the buckets. A bit later the two ladies pulled the sack of potatoes out of the water and put them into the cooler, gathered up the kids, dumped their buckets into the cooler and started for their truck. That got the best of us so we followed up behind them to the truck and made an introduction then asked what was the deal with the cooler, potatoes and shrimp and crabs. Lady laughs while kids load up inside the cab and buckle up real tight, and says, "Honey, it's so blasted hot out here today that by the time we get home the taters will be boiled and so will the shrimp and crabs." Just before pulling away she took a big box of Z's crab boil and emptied it into the water in the cooler. Now that's a really smart way to spend a HOTTTTT Day. Y'all be careful out there, ya hear?

Weather has extremes, but it seems like those extremes are becoming much more frequent. Stay safe.
