Heatwave Kills First in Berkeley County

Berkeley County’s first heat-related death this year—a 68-year-old man—serves as a chilling wake-up call: extreme heat doesn’t discriminate, but older adults, kids, and those with health issues are most vulnerable. With a dangerous heatwave hitting this weekend, temps could soar to 90°F—with humidity making it feel like 100+. The coroner’s urgent message? Stay indoors during peak heat, hydrate constantly, and never leave kids or pets in cars—33 children died nationwide last year from that exact preventable tragedy. This isn’t just uncomfortable weather—it’s life-threatening. Stay cool, stay safe. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
