Sound Familiar?

We certainly hope not:

• The advisories were issued as the Chicago area sweltered through a second day of heat indexes hovering at 100 degrees. It was the hottest-feeling day of the year, with O'Hare Airport hitting 90 degrees and Midway Airport 92, according to the Chicago Weather Center blog.

  There may be little relief from the stifling heat the rest of July, according to the weather service. "It looks like we could see this hot weather for an extended period," said Andrew Krein, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service.
  
  According to WGN Channel 9 chief meteorologist Tom Skilling, supercomputer model projections through the remaining two weeks of July indicate a steady string of 90 plus-degree days.

Remember this?

• This week marks the 15th anniversary of the 1995 Chicago heat wave, a five-day scorcher that was blamed for more than 700 heat-related deaths.
  
  That week, the heat index reached 119 degrees at O'Hare and 125 degrees at Midway Airport.

It rings a bell when we saw this tonight on the news:

• About 150 people were evaluated by paramedics for heat-related ailments they suffered while waiting for a bus outside the Loop's Union Station on Thursday.

  Fire personnel responded to 315 S. Canal St. about 5:15 p.m. on a report about 150 people suffering from heat exhaustion, Fire Media Affairs spokesman Quention Curtis said.

  The people were standing outside Union Station awaiting a bus, Curtis said. A CTA cooling bus was sent to the scene and paramedics evaluated the people.

We haven't hit a stretch of 100 degree heat indexes yet. This time around though, the body-snatchers might be doing the brunt of the work, with wagon crews earning D-3 (or E-3) as they picked up the slack for private haulers. Assuming the watch has enough manpower to put up a wagon that is.
