On June 26, 1990, the temperature in Phoenix reached 122, marking the hottest day ever record in the city.
It's a date burned (maybe literally) into the minds of Phoenix residents.
Because if you ask them, most could probably tell you right where they were on that scorching day.
Like Kevin Howard who was working outdoors in Chandler that day.
"I was roofing right in Chandler on the San Marcos Golf course......c'mon dad we are melting and it's a record...getter done!"
Laurie Gannon was stuck at an intersection in a... sinking car?
"I was at the intersection of Cave Creek, Thunderbird and Dunlap......while I was waiting for the light to change the car was actually “sinking” into the hot asphalt. There were large indentations all over the road from cars and trucks."
Brigitte Huff's car window decided to just give up.
"I was heading home going south on Scottsdale Road when suddenly my passenger side window fell down inside the passenger door. So I blasted my air conditioner and the AZ heat blasted in on the right hand side all the way home. I had to laugh. Never will forget that."
Tina Troyanek picked the wrong day to take family photos outside.
"On that day, my brothers and I thought it was a GREAT idea to have pictures taken at a scenic park for our parents. The four of us lived in 3 different states. The pictures did turn out pretty nice. But we were soooooo hot, it took forever to cool down."
Christina Worman was "a part of history" thanks to her mom.
"I was 11. My mom got me from my room and made me stand on the back patio for 5 min before I could go in to say I was "a part of history!" I also remember a neighbor frying eggs on the manhole cover on the street."
And Melina Thompson, a Valley native, wasn't even in the city, but remembers being asked if that temperature was real.
