270 million Americans will experience temperatures well above the 90s, and 150 million above the 100s, as heat waves drives summer heat to records highs in many areas. 

In some states, such as California, local utilities issued warnings to conserve on energy as power demand strains the electrical grid causing unexpected power outages and rolling blackouts. 

While American’s resort to their air conditioners to stay cool, the heatwave sent more than just temperatures soaring this week.
