According to the article temps are up to 100 to 110 degrees every day, but the big problem is lack of air-conditioning and some of the people have been cut from usage of electricity.

For sure, here at home we had 98 to 99 degrees, but expecting a mild 89 by Saturday. So far I haven't heard any cases of heat strokes, or related deaths to the heat. In the past one summer there were at least 2 to 3 heat related deaths in hometown.
