6.The heat is bringing attention to just how poorly we treat some of our most sensitive populations.

8.Not to mention the infrastructure really can't handle this any better than the rest of us can.
In case you're wondering why we're canceling service for the day, here's what the heat is doing to our power cables.

10.None of their parts want any parts in this heat.
