Shimmering heat

A heat mirage, not water, shimmers across the causeway on SR-155 at Osborn Bay in Electric City Saturday as local temperatures under a "heat dome" built up Saturday toward 108 degrees or more, only to be outdone on Monday and Tuesday, when at least one local read got to 114 degrees, with more on the way. The National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat warning through Sunday. - Scott Hunter photo
