Orange County workers sweat through oppressive temps
Residents in Orange County, especially those working outdoors, tried to cope with temperatures nearing 100 degrees today. The oppressive heat makes being in the sun a risky proposition, but some need to do so to make a living. In Warwick, workers at a carwash and a construction site dealt with the heavy air and sweltering temperatures. "I can't breathe," said construction worker Steve Delaney.
