Sandra Leeds knew something was wrong when
she became dizzy and nauseated and walked into a door as the
temperature climbed toward 100 degrees.
The 69-year-old widow in northwest Oklahoma City finally called
an ambulance and was rushed to the hospital with heat exhaustion.
Leeds became ill yesterday when temperatures reached 100 degrees for the first time this year.
The mercury topped 100 degrees again today in more than a dozen
Oklahoma cities. By 3 p.m. the National Weather Service (web|news) said the
temperature had reached 103 degrees in Lawton and 102 in Durant and
Alva.
Forecasters predicted several more days of triple-digit heat across the state as high-pressure systems centered over the Rockies and Gulf Coast states "bridged together" over Oklahoma.
