The last time weather was this bad was 1954, I was born in '55.
Ahhh, I remember 1954 well. 45 days with 100 deg temps. Got married that year, worked for St Health Dept. - no A/C, no A/C at home only 16 inch fan. No A/C on city buses. And I fired up the oven and cooked cornbread for my new husband b/c I thought he liked it. Found out it was his mom that wanted cornbread - he preferred canned biscuits. lol
