Thanks - it’s definitely been a disturbing event, and hard to convey just how unusual it is. Portland was a couple of degrees from the Las Vegas record yesterday, and the infrastructure just wasn’t built for it. We’re just south in the Willamette Valley, and have a heat-pump system that’s been doing a decent job, but apparently you’re not meant to run AC more than a 20 degree delta from outside temps. So, we were at 80-90 inside yesterday by end of day.
Today is supposed to be the worst of it, and then we’re supposed to drop to normal summer highs.
