LOL two snake calls at the same time at a condo complex... apparently they're tired of the heat, too, probably looking for the pool. #scanner #VenturaCounty #heatwave #CAwx

Another snake call! Interesting to have them out this late. (usually not near houses/people at night, unless it's REALLY hot... they like making their way to cool toilet bowls, lol... really. Have heard about MANY of those, though usually at parks... though also a church, too.) #scanner #VenturaCounty

Three calls at once for people with various medical maladies (illness, illness, difficulty breathing). Another snake call! The snakes calls are hopping tonight. #VenturaCounty #scanner

(Regulars, go back to sleep and Ignore me, up early playing airport shuttle driver) Was still 82F at 1am, now down to 79.2F (but 55% humidity) at almost 3am. Air conditioning has been running constantly. Not sure how the folks without A/C are handling this heatwave, aside from self basting in their homes. #heatwave #CAwx #VenturaCounty
