50% Humidity?? I would pray for that. You may laugh at us for bitching about the heat, but let a foot of snow fall in Phoenix and lets see how you deal with that. It's all relative.

At the same time, 111 is hot no matter how you cut it.

One of the commentaries I saw was that, although the heat was essentially the same throughout the affected area, the danger was highest in those areas where the temps were high above norms (think S. Dakota at 100 degrees for example).

No matter how you cut it. It's f'ing hot. Right now, it's 7:00 a.m., 90 degrees, with 65% humidity and a heat index of 101. It's going to be ugly today folks.
