Since the heat wave you experienced is normal Summer weather where I live; I can really understand the health danger, especially for the very young and the elderly. Maybe it is because we are used to such weather that everyone makes a special effort to drink enough water, check on the sick and elderly, etc. What really shocked me were reports that it was so bad because people just went on long vacations without providing for elderly family members.

The number of deaths is just to shocking. Why didn't people do more, especially for their own family members? What was the government doing? How could so many die? I know that we all are struggling with these qeustions. I just pray that nothing like this happens again.
