Just a bit of trivia:
The Indianapolis Star reported over 200 Indiana deaths as a result of oppressive heat. Temperatures topped 100 for 11 consecutive days. Collegeville reported116 degrees, the highest ever recorded by the Weather Bureau. Rensselaer,Bloomington, Bedford, and Frankfort each reached 110.
And we think we have it bad with air conditioning. Imagine 100 degrees with no air and homes with no insulation. Even the root cellar would have been pretty warm I would guess. This week in 1936.
