Africa heat - "It's like Africa hot. Tarzan couldn't take this kind of hot," Eugene, Biloxi Blues. The state-wide heat wave continues today, with an estimated heat index around 102 degrees - that's what it feels like with humidity factored in today. Add another 15 degrees if you're directly in the sun. Not to worry - the Smithfield EMA has opened the senior center and the ice rink as cooling centers, and they've got fans to loan out, too. Call them at (401) 640-2923.
