What this means
Indoor heat without AC is the single biggest cause of US heat-related deaths. Most victims are elderly, alone, and on the second floor or higher where heat collects.
What to do
Find a cooling center (call 211 in the US). Cold shower, wet towel on neck and wrists, fan blowing across ice. Never use a fan alone above 95 F, it just circulates hot air.
