The South Heats Up For Elvis Week

by SP on August 14th, 2007

“Cities simmered with triple-digit temperatures Monday, toppling records in a heat wave blamed for deaths in at least five states.Thermometers hit over 100 degrees in parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Nebraska, Kansas and the western tip of Tennessee, where Memphis hit a record 105 degrees, the National Weather Service said.”

And it couldn’t have come at a worse time. It’s Elvis Week in Memphis and zillions of fans are visiting from around the world to to mark the 30th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley. Here’s hoping that everyone down there is finding ways to stay cool. But the organizers are doing their best to help fight the heat by handing out free ice and water to the crowds.
