Whoa, thanks to Kimberly for sending:
“Parts of rock creek are already crazy flooded. Here’s a photo from beach drive at 1:45 pm. Other cars were stranded on the other side and had to call for roadside help.”
“Dear PoPville,
What kind of labor safeguards do we have in DC for those who toil outside in such dangerously high temperatures?”
Related from DPW:
“Summer has arrived in the District and so has the hot weather. With this in mind, trash and recycling crews from the Department of Public Works (DPW) will be starting their daily collection routes one hour earlier at 6 am, beginning Tuesday, July 3. The earlier collection time will remain in effect for the entire summer, ending Monday, September 3.”

“Dear PoPville,
Heads up for anyone headed CostCo in NE… they’ve cleared out most of the meat due to the heat and anything still available is ‘insulated’ under cardboard. Other open refrigerated sections are shielded with pull-down shades. Pretty wild ahead of the holiday. This was around 6:30pm Monday night.”
More photos after the jump. (more…)
