 I was going downstairs to check on my son. That's when I heard the big crack. The storms also prompted water rescues statewide and knocked out power to millions. Excessive heat warnings are still in effect today for many states out west, including California, where at least one person has died in Death Valley. Honestly, it's definitely shocking. I don't know how anything can survive out here. You can definitely feel the heat on your skin. It is 123 degrees right now. More trouble for Boeing.
