Congrats to @alanhalaly.bsky.social for his Headliner Award in environmental writing for the @reviewjournal.com story "A Fatal Forecast," on heat deaths in Las Vegas last summer. These heartbreaking, human stories are worth a read as summer approaches: www.reviewjournal.com/local/local-... #EJUF
Hundreds are dead after succumbing to Las Vegas’ heat. Here are 3 of their stories
Sin City is reeling from a record summer, with extreme heat killing more of its residents than ever before.
