Let me tell you what folks, I was live witness to a high of 103 and an
official heat index of 117 in Wilmington NC on Sunday.  I think this was
the most brutal weather that I have ever experienced!  I was on the
coast and didn't have a hygrometer or I might could have calculated an
even higher heat index.  It was brutal!

Here is a list of the Maximum Heat Indices in the US
(Unchecked) for Late July / Early Aug. 1999
