Tennessee Residents Search for Ways to Survive Heat, High Temperatures
Many construction workers, drywall hangers and roofers have started beginning their days earlier and leaving earlier in an effort to avoid being outside working during the hottest part of the day. Others are taking off during the middle of the day when the temperatures are the highest and returning later in the afternoon to finish their day's work. Still others are continuing to work and just consuming extra fluids, using fans to mobilize the air in the areas where they are working, and opening doors and windows when possible to try and offset the heat.
Heat advisories for the area have included warnings to stay indoors under air conditioning until the weather subsides, and while this is the best advice it is not possible for many workers in the area, or even many families who do not have the luxury of an air conditioned home. For these people, the fact remains that they have to do the best that they can to make it through what has turned out to be one of the hottest summers in recent history.
