I remember I was a Manager at Jack in the Box on Bell rd, and I was out there completely redoing the drive thru menueboard with all new slides/prices and pictures. The metal menuboard was positively sizzling and I burned my hands and arms from the heat.

Do you remember where you were?
I was living in Payson at the time. The Dude Fire had started the day before and it got up to 106 in Payson. Really bad time.

I was a deliver driver for a tire company here in Phoenix, I was in Bullhead City making deliveries at noon. It was 125 degrees when I completed my last delivery in Bullhead City.

We had just moved to San Diego after almost 20 years in Havasu. 122 happened pretty regularly on Arizona's west coast. The hottest I remember was 128. Kinda like an oven

I worked in north Scottsdale at the time, in the vicinity of Scottsdale Airport on Hayden Rd. There was hardly anything out there at the time. The airport closed down, as did Sky Harbor. I also remember the A/C in the building I worked in, which was only 3 years old at the time, had problems around 1 or 2 PM so they told everyone to leave early. I drove west on Bell Rd to get home when I lived near I-17 and Greenway. At the time there was hardly any traffic on Bell Rd back then, and on June 26th, 1990, I was probably the only person who was driving on Bell that afternoon.

Good thing I slept through it I worked a graveyard job and Kodak developing picture that were dropped off at your local grocery store. I guess it wouldn't of felt worse then the 121 in 1995 or even the 119 a couple years ago.
