This is what you get when you ask the weather gods for heat.

Does anyone have any video or pictures of that Tornado that threw around some canopies on Thursday (Weekend 1)?

Thursday afternoon:



Friday afternoon:

Holy shit it blew away the fat bitch too!!! Impressive wind, impressive.

[trakball]

That was my fucking lady friend, ass.

[DeadSkin]

^Uncomfortable conversation! Holy god that thing missed ya, it blew right by.

[TheMusicMan]

That was my fucking lady friend, ass.

I apologize. I'm terribly sorry for your loss. Damn you twister!!!

I have no problem with 70 degree weather. But 70 during the day means 50s at night, and the night is my favorite part.

This is reasonable... except for the fact that the low is almost always near 50 degrees no matter how it is during the day.

STFU. When it's 90 during the day it can be 50's at night too. In fact it usually is. Here is 2008.

Now go cry more about how it's going to be so fucking cold. It's not. The lows are going to be about the same. The highs are just a bit cooler.

Ha, ods... good call. Same thought. I don't think he understands desert weather unless he is really upset about 3-8 degree temp variations.

Hey, I thought the lows were always the same no matter how hot it gets during the day?

Oh wow, look at that, lows in the 70s. Seems like the lows got warmer with the highs. Imagine that!

I accept your apologies, assholes.

(That being said, this is going to be way too fucking hot and I'm not looking forward to the daytime)

[xuclarockerx]

Whoa it was only 80 on Sunday? Felt warmer.

[MusicIsMyBoyfriend]

Sitting in the cyber cafe in camp...... it is MUTHAFUCKIN HOT! That is all.

[Lynn163]

I don't blame you. Saw it was 90 at 9am.

[TomAz]

[tonytoca83]

[JustSteve]

[captncrzy]

Jesus. That's not even the hottest part of the day. Wonder what it will be at 3:00.

[luckyface]

Yeah, still pretty sure weekend 1 got the better end of the weather deal.

[bluecheese]

it's getting hotter for saturday and sunday, 105, 106 respectively.

[Sexecutioner]

This is going to be brutal. Bring it on mother nature!

[Lynn163]

That's just miserable. Going to see a lot of people passing out on the fields if they're not careful.

[amyzzz]

Holy crap.

[bluecheese]

fuck the 9$ beer, drink water and stay in the shade.

[wstsidela]

Holy heatstroke, Batman!!!

[CrimesceneCookie]

people say '07 was hottest at 107, but wasn't '04 over 110 degrees? I remember the Junior Senior set was like being in an oven.

[shotglass75]

[JustSteve]

People have to remember Coachella had VERY LITTLE SHADE back in 2004. No Do Lab, not enough art for shade, no food tents.
