Boston City under Emergency Alert

A heat emergency is set in place in Boston of Massachusetts, where temperatures reach 95 degrees Fahrenheit, as extreme heat and high humidity smother the central and northeastern United States. 

Bee Waxar, homeless from Boston said "Yeah, it's hard. It's dangerous. I mean, people, if they don't stay hydrated, if they don't stay in the shade, they can go into, they could go into a heat stroke, you know, and die potentially. So the heat waves are really dangerous, especially for homeless people, because they don't have that comfy home with AC to stay in." 

Boston Mayor declared a heat emergency in the city, where splash pads and pools are open to help residents cool down. Thursday will be kicked up another notch, it will likely feel like temperatures are between 97 and 107 degrees.
