BY MATTHEW ALBRIGHT | Staff writer It is way too hot outside. With heat indexes climbing above 100, A/C repairmen are frantically busy trying to keep everybody cool. Here's a look inside their hectic workloads. Here's an eye-popping graphic that shows just how hot it's gotten. And here's a look at how buckling asphalt briefly shut down I-10.
