    This was outside Columbus, Ohio. Humidity was around 50% during the warmest part of the day yesterday.

    Temps like that, with higher humidity, would be normal in an ordinary year, but it's been very cool this year and no one's acclimated. Which was my point. A temperature and humidity that seems quite comfortable to some people (including me, and I don't live that far away from there), can threaten other people's health.

    The area where the bank center is, is a prime example of urban sprawl, so I very much doubt there was a covered parking lot where they could get "out of the sun." I'm sure some of them probably sat in their cars with the engines and A/C running...

    This is a guess, but it's pretty likely there wasn't water available, which couldn't have helped anything.
