It's Hot Out There

This has been a rather hot July, even for our standards. I know it's only 95 outside but the humidity makes it feel like 115.



With only a day or two in the 80s, people's ability to withstand the heat is wearing thin. Ambulance after ambulance carried in young and old today overcome by the heat.


It's summertime, it's the south, isn't it supposed to be hot? It's easy to say when you are sitting in an air conditioned room or building but as we are finding out, many of the old or the poor have no air conditioning at all. One EMS told me the house he went into earlier in the day was like going into an oven.












So what's the forecast? Supposed to get even hotter.
