BREAKING: A large Pfizer pharmaceutical plant in North Carolina was heavily damaged by a tornado on Wednesday, scattering medicine and other debris around the complex, a sheriff and the company said.
Meanwhile, Phoenix broke an all-time record Wednesday morning for a warm low temperature at 97 degrees Fahrenheit , raising the threat of heat-related illness for residents unable to cool off adequately overnight. The previous record was 96 degrees Fahrenheit in 2003, the weather service reported.
No other major city –- defined as the 25 most populous in the U.S. -– has had any stretch of 110-degree days or 90-degree nights longer than Phoenix, said weather historian Christopher Burt of the Weather Company.
