The old timers talk about cities placing mounds of block ice in their city parks at night. The residents would take a sleeping roll to the park and sleep on the ground as near the ice as possible, taking advantage of the cool air that flowed from the ice across the near goound.
Kanasas City Missouri was one of these…
“The city’s most severe heat wave since 1936 occurred in 1980. Roughly 40 percent of residents still did not have air conditioning, and the Kansas City metropolitan area suffered a shocking 176 heat-related deaths. Unlike 1934, 1936, and 1954, many locals feared spending the night in the parks because of the potential for crime. The tragedy became clear at the peak of the heat wave, when rescue crews discovered bodies at the rate of one per hour. Many area hospitals, morgues, and mortuaries were literally overwhelmed with victims. In the 44 years since Kansas City’s highest single-day temperature, human ingenuity still could not mitigate the effects of a severe heat wave. It is a lesson that the city has had to learn repeatedly, even though temperatures have never again reached the 113 degree mark set on August 14, 1936.”
1980? Wasn’t that a magical time before we started spiralling out of control? The Arctic ice was perfect! Oopsy! Better go back and adjust that history to match the Brave New Reality.
It was 117 in E. St. Louis or Bellville, maybe both during the 1954 heatwave. Hottest ever recorded in Illinois.
