Heat wave across US causes media to go into hyperbole overdrive

Most of the US is blanketed by a heat wave and the media hysteria has reached about Force 8 or so.

Terms like "searing heat", "baking temperatures", and "soaring mercury" appear on front pages across the nation. Despite the warm up for WWIII taking place in Lebanon, "Summer Scorcher" will probably lead all the network newscasts this afternoon.

Now I know how New Englanders feel when they read about us weenies in Texas freezing our patoots off when the temp dips below 20 degrees.
