🌡️Heat Exhaustion or Heat Stroke? Heat stroke is considered a medical emergency & is much more serious than heat exhaustion, affecting behavior & triggering potentially life-threatening conditions. Know the signs and ACT FAST. @mcfrs #BeSafe #summerheat

Peak heat index Friday looking... pretty horrible. Max heat index so far this summer in DC is 109 so we might give it a run. Staying hot through the weekend and beyond. Details at cwg.live.
