We were in France's Berry Region, 40 miles south of the Loire between
the Indre and Cher rivers...the heat began in earnest on the 2nd of
August, everyday above 95 until the end of the week when it reached
107-109 daily. It stayed above 90 at night. Many young families had
left on their typical vacation and thus left the old people behind.
Many died of dehydration and heat stroke, the sirens ran night and day
as people were found passed out or mort. It was terrible to witness.
A single person who didn't answer their door became 4 more as firemen
knocked on adjacent doors. Awful. Fans were passed out but too late in
some cases. People ame home in late August to the dead in their homes.
Surprise! Awful, just awful.
