NOLA weather

Lots of complaints about the weather down here. So someone on another blog posted the record high temps for the last 20 years.

I knew the one for Dec. 25th 1987 (79 degrees). Why did I know that you ask? Because I went to pick up my grandmother for lunch at my parents'. And her house was boiling because she didn't have central a/c and because she was leaving she didn't open any of the windows. While I was helping her finish up, she fainted while sitting on a stool in the kitchen.

My grandmother was taller than me and at the time outweighed me. But I lifted of slumped body off of the stool and lay her on the ground. Then ran and called my Mom.

Scariest Christmas ever. She ended up being fine, just overcome by the heat. Eventually her cardiologist told her she had to get central a/c because her ailing heart could not take the heat.

Whew.
