Emergency rooms see an increase in cases of heat stroke and dehydration in July and August. The AmericanCollege of Emergency Physicians gives this advice on how to stay safe in hot weather:

*Check the heat index before going out to work, play or practice and plan accordingly.*Avoid direct sunlight in the middle of the day. Schedule activities for the early morning or early eveninghours.*Wear loose, light-colored clothes and hats. Dark colors absorb more heat.*Drink lots of water or sports drinks; about 8 ounces an hour when in the sun in order to avoiddehydration.*Take frequent breaks in the shade or in air-conditioning to cool off. Calculate the "apparenttemperature" before taking part in activities.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:* At 90 degrees and 50 percent humidity, it feels like 96. At 70 percent humidity, it feels like 106degrees. Heat exhaustion is likely, so take it easy. Heat exhaustion can include cramps, heavysweating, nausea, heart-rate changes and dizziness. Get the victim out of the sun, remove excessclothing and place cool towels on extremities. Fan and give small sips of water.* At 95 degrees and 50 percent humidity, it feels like 107 degrees. At 70 percent humidity, it feelslike 124 degrees. At that temperature and at any higher temperature or humidity, it is extremelydangerous to be outside and heatstroke could occur.* At 100 degrees, humidity ranging from 35 percent to 55 percent can cause heat exhaustion. At 100degrees, humidity of 60 percent or higher puts a person into heat stroke territory. Heatstroke is amedical emergency. Symptoms include confusion, an altered mental state, unconsciousness and hot,dry skin. Call 911. Do not give fluids, which can cause seizures.

From Oregon to South Carolina, Americans will see the sight that has left mankind tremblingand astonished as long as humans have walked the earth.

The Great American Total Eclipse will be one for the record books as totality junkies from acrossthe globe hurry to the best viewing destinations.

On August 21, 2017, for the first time in 99years, the earth, moon, and stars will line upperfectly in a total eclipse that can be viewed in14 states. Best viewing is predicted to be inOregon where sunshine is predicted, especiallynear Madras. Local time will be 10:21 a.m. PDTand totality will last for about 2 minutes and 7to 8 seconds, depending on where the viewerstands.

On the East Coast, the eclipse will start alittle after 1 p.m. and reach totality just before3 p.m.

Further inland, viewers in Illinois andKentucky will experience 40 seconds moretotality.

"A solar eclipse can only take place at the phase of new moon, when the moon passes directlybetween the sun and Earth and its shadow falls upon Earth's surface," according to space.com.

The eclipse will be actively pursued by a sub-culture of totality followers who travel to variousparts of the world to experience the out-of-this world phenomena many times during the year.Scientists will also be watching the display and the shadow allows them to see solar flares.
