Event narrative

Hot weather with afternoon temperatures in the 90s and relatively high humidity caused injuries and fatalities. Four of the five fatalities were older citizens and all occurred in Cuyahoga County in the Cleveland urban area where little cooling occurs during the night. Injuries were generally from heat stress/stroke. Eight occurred in Cuyahoga 011, with two in Summit 021 and one in Lorain 010. Figures for the fatalities are from the County Coroners. The number of injuries is uncertain due to the lack of reporting and the actual number treated for heat stress/stroke is likely higher. M60PH, W70PH, W59PH, M38OT, M63PH.
