Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAfternoon heat indices rose to 105 degrees or more across western Kentucky for up to three consecutive afternoons. At Paducah, the heat index peaked at 105 degrees on all three afternoons from the 19th to the 21st. At Owensboro, the heat index peaked at 110 degrees on the 19th and 21st, but did not reach 105 on the 20th. At Hopkinsville, the peak heat index was 105 on the 19th but did not reach 105 on subsequent afternoons. In Henderson, a high school football player died following a morning practice on July 19. A forensic pathologist's report stated the player died of complications from a pre-existing heart condition, with heat likely a contributing factor (indirect fatality). The heat index was 88 degrees during the player's workout. At a hospital in Owensboro, at least four people were treated for heat-related problems, including two with heat exhaustion. A local Owensboro utility company started its voluntary curtailment program.
