🏘️ Community
Residents in Yakima shared witty remarks as the heat wave persisted, with some comparing today’s high temperatures to a record 110° in 1971 (and 113° in 2021).
The ongoing heat sparked creative banter among neighbors in the community.
🌲 Environment
USFS research station closures and staff cuts have raised concerns at local camps including Camp Ghormley (named for a Yakima church pastor) that rely on federal guidance to manage wildfire risks.
The changes may delay permits and upkeep and could challenge long-term forest conservation.
A dazzling meteor streak lit our skies last Friday before 1 a.m. (part of the Perseid meteor shower) and experts say up to 100 more meteors per hour will be visible until Aug.
