| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A small "heat wave" gripped the region during the middle of July with high temperature ranging from the upper 90s to around 100 degrees for five days with overnight lows only reaching the middle 70s. The hottest temperatures during this period occurred from the Mississippi Delta, across northern Mississippi and then down to the Jackson Metro and toward Meridian. This area peaked between 100 and 102 degrees for at least two days during the hot five day stretch.An area particularly hard hit was in Leake County just outside Carthage. Here a chicken farmer lost 9000 laying hens. The chickens died because of oxygen depletion when the air ventilation fans broke. With outside air temperatures at 100 degrees and no ventilation, the birds only have about 30 minutes then the air temperature gets too hot, oxygen is used up and the birds perish. The lost of these 9000 chickens cost the farmer 76,500 dollars. |
