    A blistering heat wave has broken a 131-year-old record in Los Angeles.
    The National Weather Service reports that the temperature hit 98 degrees Saturday in downtown Los Angeles.
    That beats a record of 95 degrees for the date set in 1886.
    Other records for the day fell at the weather service office in Oxnard and nearby Camarillo, both in Ventura County.
    Oxnard reached 90 degrees, up from 87 back in 1992. Camarillo registered 88 degrees, topping a 1997 record of 87.
    Temperatures in the city of Riverside reached 108 degrees, beating a record of 106 set in 1908. Elsinore also set a new record.
    Temperatures there rose to 114 degrees, the highest since 1921.
    On Friday, Palm Springs hit 122 degrees.
    Its previous high for July 7 was 117 back in 1976.
    Southern California is under an excessive heat warning with triple-digit temps expected in valleys and inland areas.

    140,000 without power caused by fire during record breaking heatwave in the Valley California

    Power has been restored to more than a third of the 140,000 Valley homes and businesses affected by an intentional outage Los Angeles Department of Water and Power officials caused Saturday to aid firefighters battling flames at a DWP facility.
    DWP estimated the initial power outage affected 140,000 customers on a very warm night in the following communities: Northridge, Winnetka, Reseda, Lake Balboa, Tarzana, North Hills, Granada Hills, Chatsworth, West Hills, Canoga Park and Woodland Hills.
    But by about 10 p.m., power for 50,000 of those customers was restored, according to the DWP.
    The power was purposefully cut to allow firefighters to safely work heavy flames at the plant at 18900 Parthenia St., the DWP reported. An explosion was first reported at 6:53 p.m., Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department said.
    The facility is known as Receiving Station J, said LADWP spokesman Michael Ventre.
    It was not known when all power would be restored.
    An LADWP employee on the scene said he'd just gotten off a 16 hour-shift and would have to start another at midnight.
    "It's got to be done," he said.
    "People are without power."
    Eighty-four firefighters used water and foam to extinguish the fire, Humphrey said.
    The fire was in an energized storage vault that contained 50-60,000 gallons of mineral oil, he said. No injuries were reported.
    The outages occurred following a day of record high temperatures across the Southland, including Woodland Hills, where the high reached 110 degrees, besting the previous record of 108, set in 2006. Downtown Los Angeles tied its record temperature of 96 degrees, which was set July 8, 1954.

    As for climate change, (Global warming?) For me, reporting heatwaves around the world for the last five years, 2017 has seen a huge spike in recorded heatwaves, with Arizona, California, the Persian Gulf and parts of Australia often hitting 122 deg F (50 deg C).
    I have no climate change agenda but my world (Holland) is seeing longer warmer summers with often temperatures which are hard to deal with and the winters are milder, we haven't had snow here for a few years now and the temperature rarely dip below freezing in the winter months.

    Minutes after an earthquake jolted the Visayas on Thursday afternoon, July 6, a tornado slashed through the area and hit more than 20 houses and a structure in two villages.
    Francis Bermejo, head of the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, said two houses were destroyed while 20 others were damaged in Barangays Cabanbanan and Nabali-an past 4 p.m. Thursday.
    The tornado, which lasted for five to 12 minutes, toppled down trees and blew off roofs of houses, and of Cabanbanan Elementary School building.
    Nobody was injured, but about 22 families were displaced.
    Bermejo said some of the affected families sought refuge in evacuation centers while others stayed in their homes.
    Himamaylan City Mayor Agustin Bascon said that food packs were distributed to the affected families.
    He said that assessment of the damage is ongoing to determine who will receive financial assistance and construction materials.
    The mayor said the earthquake has nothing to do with the tornado.
    "Scientifically speaking, earthquakes can't produce tornado," he said, adding that tornado was formed after the heat on the ground converged with the cold air.
    'Be prepared' For his part, Governor Alfredo Maranon Jr. told the public to always be prepared for disasters following the 6.5-magnitude earthquake that hit Leyte and was feltin Negros Occidental on Thursday afternoon.
    Maranon, who was at the Provincial Capitol in Bacolod City when the tremor happened, said the best way to prepare for disasters and calamities is through prayers.
    He said disasters were written in the Bible and it is sort of a warning and message to the public.
    "It's up to you how you take the message," he added.
    The governor said the locality's disaster preparedness would always depend on the resources.
    "Our resources are not enough.
    During Thursday's tremor, Intensity 4 was reported in Sagay City, Intensity 3 in Bacolod City and Calatrava, and Intensity 1 in La Carlota City.
    It also caused power interruption in some parts of Bacolod City after three substations of Central Negros Electric Cooperative tripped due to oversupply of power.
