The meat and potatoes of forecasting, during the Spring and Summer. HEAT!!! Yes, those thunderstorms, rainshowers and flooding are terrifying! However an astonishing number of vulnerable people die in situations where family members leave the aged, kids and pets to die. Image you that guilt and to know, you did it. You did it
Heatstroke Deaths of Children in Vehicles
719 children left in vehicles have died of heatstroke since 1998.
All of these deaths could have been prevented.

It is a criminal act. It is selfish, short-sighted and sad. How could you rationalize it? Tell that to the couple who can’t have kids. Tell that to the elderly, whose time is expedited by foolish idiots and their carelessness. No amount of tears justify it. Imagine you dying a painful death, the same way, your family or pets.
Pets are like family. You did it. Can you live with the heart-break? You can’t take back lives. It is done!
