Midwest can't get any relief from oppressive heat

Kyle Kallek, 23, puts the last of his gas into a portable generator behind his house in Chesterfield Twp., Mich. on July 5, 2012. The National Weather Service reported late Thursday that the record-breaking heat that has baked the nation's midsection for several days was slowly moving into the mid-Atlantic states and Northeast. That forecast followed excessive-heat warnings Thursday for all of Illinois and Indiana, as well as parts of Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan.
