Newspaper clip here reports over 600 killed from heat in Midwest that year. In a city in Oklahoma the temperature reached 117 degrees after 36 days IN A ROW where the temperature exceeded 100 degrees!
I lived in Palm Springs during the early 1980's. It is in the Southern California desert. In the summer it is among the hottest places on the planet. Why wouldn't it be: it is the DESERT. We had a solid week in 1981 or 1982
where the temperature never fell below 100 degrees. That was 7 days solid before it broke. But, Oklahoma? That's not even desert. Over 100 degrees for 36 days in a row in 1934.
