Heat wave kills and dries up life across many states
The scorching heat and humidity reach 100 degrees in much of the nation, causing at least 16 deaths in Mississippi and Tennessee, a police dog death in Tennessee, a rhinoceros death at a Jackson zoo, and widespread health risks. Schools, sports, bands, and outdoor workers cope by indoor practice, cool centers, and altered schedules as authorities warn residents to check on neighbors.
