Summary
Friday’s heat wave hit the East Coast like a furnace, with temps nearing 100 degrees and oppressive humidity turning Independence Day into a survival challenge for millions. Cities scrambled—shortening parades, shifting events, or outright canceling outdoor activities to protect public safety. Even iconic spots like D.C.’s Great American State Fair shut down midday, reopening only at night. The National Weather Service issued urgent warnings, urging vulnerable groups to stay indoors, hydrate, and avoid peak heat. Fireworks still lit up the sky later, a reminder that even holidays must yield to nature’s fury.
