You want heat? Visit Cuba... now THAT place is roasting on a daily basis... went there with my high school concert band, and thank god I have some Kiwi blood in me, cuz I was pretty much one of about 10 people of a group of nearly 100 that didn't get heatstroke 3 steps off the plane. 
that can't be right I don't think there has been that many deaths in the US in about 5 yrs due to heat stroke. But please correct me if I am wrong.:confused

Maybe that's why they wimped out of helping in Iraq, the temps there would have killed the entire army. Think they are going to bathe more often ,now ? Took my little boys and my wife to Disney a month ago. We went into the Haunted House and in that room that they close you in someone stunk to high hell I looked around and asked who it was, this lady next to me pointed them out. Turned out to be a French family. I think they understood me as they opened the doors.

gotta remember alot of places dont have A/C that are ususally cooler/only hot for short period...
I think the figures are far greater..if you read article they mention something about increse from 2000-3000 or somethin in same period...
heatstroke is no joke tho....we always donate fans etc to the groups that collect to help out elderly people who dont have ac/fans/way to get cool during summer...it IS a real danger

If you read any stories about this, their way of calculation is BS. They figured around 39 people usually died a day. The had reports of death in the 120 - 130's. They didn't check to see what happened, only assumed it was due to the heat. A boat could have sank, and they would have contributed it to a heat related death. I feel for human life being lost, but the way they got this number is stupid!
