    In March 2003, or March 2002, A guy was delivered to a nearby hospital due to heat exposure, or heart failure. I don't know if he died or not, but three medical people were carrying him down the two- hour long line. A few people said that he was so muggy that he collasped because the weather that day was like 91 degrees farhinheit. And I heard he lived up north.
