Crops, people and pets suffer from heat
Experts warn of dangers
061615 HEAT 02
Corn on Lake View Road shows some signs of stress Monday from the current local heat wave and dry spell.
A high-pressure “dome” hovering over the Southeast is making things pretty hot and dry around Bulloch County, and the heat wave could endanger crops, pets and people.

High temperatures this past week approached the triple digits, with heat indices reaching up to 108 degrees, he said.
