Judy Trenary of Columbus:
“I am drinking plenty of fluids like Gatorade with a lot of electrolytes. I am staying inside where it is cool, not doing any yard work or things like that.”
Vernecia Riley and Josiah Johnson
of Starkville:
“It’s been so hot and Moncrief is closed down. So the splash pad (at J.L. King Park) is the second best place to come and keep cool on a hot day.”
Vinod Sharma of Columbus:
“Stay inside as much as possible. Drink lots of fluids like water and juice but no sodas.”
Christina Chunn of Columbus:
“Staying indoors is probably the best way to beat the heat and ceiling fans.”
Crystal Davis of Hamilton:
“We went to a ball game on Saturday. We made sure we had a tent and went to Walmart to purchase a battery operated fan. We had lots of water and just enjoyed our day outside anyway.”
Garrett Torbert of Columbus:
“Drink lots of water. I like to be outside and active so I need to be conscious of the fact that I need to stay hydrated and eat.”
Houston Outlaw of Starkville:
“The heat doesn’t bother me. Hot or not, I’m outside!”
Riley Carter of Amory:
“When it’s hot, I like to go swimming. I like getting sno cones too.”
Sydni Carter of Amory:
“I like to go swimming. I also like to go for walks in the morning before it gets too hot.”
