Texas heat drives Dallas Fort Worth deaths over twenty one
Heat across Dallas and Fort Worth rose above 100 degrees for the 16th day as health officials reported at least 21 deaths linked to the heat wave. Hospitals saw many admissions and several in critical condition while other areas noted heat exhaustion cases. Emergency crews warn the elderly are most at risk and urge watchful care. Forecasters say the ovenlike heat results from winds from northern Mexico and a Texas high pressure ridge, with 107 degrees reaching Wichita Falls and Childress.
