(CNN) -- The dangerous heat wave blamed for as many as 13 deaths spread into the eastern United States on Wednesday, extending its reach across nearly half the U.S. population, officials said.

About 141 million people in a 1 million-square-mile area were under heat advisories and warnings, Justin Kenney, spokesman for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, tweeted.

The National Weather Service said "temperatures in the mid-90s will be possible across the mid-Atlantic states today. High temperatures will near 100 degrees tomorrow across much of the mid-Atlantic and parts of the Southeast. These triple-digit temperatures are forecast to remain in place across the eastern U.S. through Saturday before cooling off slightly to the mid-90s by Sunday."

it was 114 in Nebraska last week. I am from Texas, and thats HOT. It was only 111 here...
And this is one of the hottest summers I can remember - Ever. Ad that to the bizarre fact that it has snowed in Fort Worth for the last two Februaries ( hasnt snowed hard here since 1977) and I would say, yes, the weather is a changin'
.

Well, according to some people, poor people should not be allowed to have air conditioning so I guess you could think it could be worse, if all those poor people had their AC taken away.

I would LOVE for some of the asses in that thread to come live in Las Vegas with no AC, teach them a lesson or three. I'd bet they couldn't hack it and it hasn't even gotten hot yet here.

Stay cool, my friends.

Even though this is sad, it isn't note worthy.
