That wooshing noise you just heard was a glacier passing a bureaucracy.

Good article. Of course wet cloths, fans (if there's power), a dip in the bathtub (or whatever) will help cool you down. I believe someone mentioned misting systems, but I don't believe anyone mentioned personal misters. They don't require electrical power (they do require water). I bought one of this brand: http://www.mistymate.com/ *

I didn't pay anywhere near those prices though. I don't know that this is the best mister out there; this is just the one I happen to have. Works well in a relatively dry climate like S. California. Not so sure this would work in that soup that some call air along the gulf coast.
