| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Excessively high heat indices were recorded in the late morning and afternoon hours of both the 3rd and 4th. On the 3rd, the heat index peaked at 115 degrees at the Paducah airport, 118 at the Owensboro airport, and 112 degrees at the Fort Campbell airfield near Hopkinsville. Heat indices only fell to between 85 and 90 degrees at sunrise. On the 4th, heat indices peaked at 114 at Paducah, 119 at Owensboro, and 114 near Hopkinsville. Actual air temperatures reached 104 degrees at Paducah and 103 at Owensboro. In Graves County, a 64-year-old man collapsed in his home from heat-related stress after doing yard work. The man suffered from pre-existing medical conditions, but the cumulative effect of the heat was a primary factor. A large fish kill at a small pond in Ballard County was blamed on the heat. About 200 fish died in the one-acre pond. There were reports that several dogs died because of the heat. A large, strong high in the upper levels of the atmosphere overspread the southern half of the nation. |
