Noel Lyman - Saint Paul, Minnesota
Noel Lyman tries to keep cool during Saint Paul's 19th day above 90 degrees in 2007. Elderly, low income, and socially isolated individuals are amongst the most vulnerable to heat waves, which will likely increase in number, intensity and duration by the end of this century.
