Mississippi Braces for Deadly Heat After Storm

Mississippi’s still reeling from Tropical Storm Arthur’s flooding, but brace for a new crisis: dangerous heat. Starting Saturday through Thursday, heat indexes could soar to 105-110 degrees, made worse by lingering humidity. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory—this isn’t just uncomfortable, it’s life-threatening. Cities like Jackson, Vicksburg, and Hattiesburg are hit hardest. After Arthur left 248 homes damaged, 15 destroyed, and one fatality, communities need help cleaning up. Donate buckets, bleach, rags, towels, and mops at the Fairgrounds Armory in Jackson, open daily 8 AM to 4 PM. Stay hydrated, check on neighbors, and stay safe—Mississippi’s resilience is being tested, but it’s holding strong. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
