Over 110-degree heat indexes fueled a surge: 63 people hospitalized on Saturday alone, 59 the day before. From May 1 to July 5, 563 heat-related ER visits were logged in eastern Virginia — a massive spike compared to historical averages. Virginia Beach led the region with 132 cases. Alarmingly, the most affected were adults in their 30s and 40s, each group accounting for 16% of hospitalizations. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and check on your neighbors — extreme heat isn’t just uncomfortable, it’s deadly. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
