NEW YORK - With a record-breaking heat wave intensifying over much of the U.S. Midwest and East Coast through the weekend, it was a bad time for Annie McQueen’s air conditioner to break down in her New York City apartment.
She sat smiling near the door of the Raices Times Plaza Neighborhood Senior Center, beyond which the air was predicted to cook up to a high of 98 degrees Fahrenheit , though it would feel more like 110 degrees F with the humidity, according to the National Weather Service. He had driven his motorized wheelchair the half a block to the center when it opened at 9 a.m., felt rejuvenated soon after, and did not plan to venture outside again until it closed at 5 p.m. City emergency officials sent crates of bottled water and Gatorade to hand out to anyone who dropped in to cool off.
Officials implored everyone to stay inside as much as possible and be alert for the signs of heat stroke.
