STOP SHOWING PICTURES OF PEOPLE HAVING FUN IN THE SUN FOR HEAT WAVE STORIES :agony-limitless:
115°f (46°c) is not comfortable or enjoyable in any circumstance, the splashing water is the only respite for some people who live on the street or can't afford AC. people are dying, this isn't a feel good summer story, you monsters.
redding is kind of a shithole chud town but that's not the point
my stock photo ideas
Wildfire - a bunch of thirty-something flanneled women roasting marshmallows and laughing with glasses of red wine sitting on a stump near the fire
Tornado - a little girl flying a kite with her father crouching next to her, one arm around her and the other arm pointing past the camera up at the sky
Earthquake - a man tries to stand on a little circus see-saw with his arms out to the side, exaggerated look of surprise on his face like he's about to lose his balance
Asteroid impact - family huddled together in a carpeted basement, in their pajamas, with a duvet draped over their backs, one of them holding a survival flashlight up to their face like they're telling a ghost story at a sleepover
