## Resource

A deadly heatwave grips the Midwest, pushing temperatures into the 90s and hitting 100 in some spots, forcing cooling centers and extreme warnings across Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Iowa. With no relief in sight, the scorching air is set to move east, threatening the Northeast—including New York and Boston—just in time for the Fourth of July. Parades are canceled, roads buckle, and daily life grinds to a halt. One Detroit window washer starts his day at dawn to escape the heat, calling it “starting to cook out here.” Firefighters in Milwaukee battle a school blaze for hours under brutal conditions, while in Detroit, a man named George Liller steps up, donating a free AC unit to help someone in need. As the heat rolls on, it’s a sobering reminder: staying cool and looking out for each other isn’t just smart—it’s essential.
