Awesome banging sound from inside the furnace as if the fan has come lose from its mounting! Excellent sizzling temps to make us appreciate how great air condition is as an invention! Terrific timing to pay for emergency a/c repairs!
Great way to start the weekend!

Air conditioners? Oh, I remember those. No residential AC here in western Washington. At least the high today is supposed to reach only 87° F.
Is that normal summer temps there?!?!?!
So diagnosis (after an emergency visit from the A/C guy): Fan got out of balance from dirt (combo, no doubt, of construction and shedding cats) and damaged the motor shaft. They will need to check with the manufacturer on Monday to see if they have the parts in stock.
Oh, boy!
Preventative measures going forward would be to change the filter every 60 days.
+Gretchen Sher, if you mean normal temps for Washington, no. Summers here are usually mild enough that AC is not built into apartments and houses. It's been unseasonably hot. We've been breaking records left and right, and are getting heat warnings, normally unheard of here.
