On Monday, there wasn't a cloud in the sky over North Texas. It was forecast to be the hottest day of the year as the temperature soared into triple digits.
"It's not so bad once you get used to it," Arnold Ngundo said out on a late morning run."I still run, don't matter. Come rain, sunshine, snow, sleet; I'll still run.""I was on the phone with my mom; I was like, what do I do? Suffer with no air conditioning when it's 106 outside," Karsyn Barnett asked.Barnett is a new first-time homeowner. Her moving boxes were even unpacked when her air conditioning started leaking.
"Everyone's really busy because everyone's AC units are going out," Barnett said."This is my first home. All of my life savings went into this." Barnett found an affordable medium between no air conditioning and an expensive fix, by renting an AC unit for a few days.Rescue Cooling Rentals Founder/CEO Matthew Burton said."They think, I either need to take my family and pets to a hotel, or I need to just sweat here and wait for the AC tech to fix it.""So our warehouse, as you can see, is pretty empty today," Burton said."That's because of the temperatures that we're seeing.""The portable one from Rescue has kind of given me some... bought me some time, I guess, to make more decisions," Barnett said.
