This morning, millions facing what could be one of the hottest July 4ths on record. 
>> When I got in the car, it felt like I almost burned myself. Like, it it was bad. 
>> That scorching heat dome smothering 30 states is expected to hit its peak today, straining the nation's power grid. 
>> I'm just not going to leave my apartment. 
>> It's getting hotter and hotter. 
>> Several major cities declaring emergencies as temperatures soar into the 100s, now trying to protect the most vulnerable. 
The temperatures are getting vulnerable. The temperatures are getting into triple digits on their own. 
But what you you can't feel through the TV is the humidity we've got 
>> in Minnesota. A boy on the field for the national anthem at a minor league game collapsing from dehydration Tuesday. 
One of the players carrying him off the field. Sparkle Martin overcome by the heat while waiting for a bus collapsing to the ground. 
>> I kind of fell to my knees and immediately uh knew I was having a heat stroke. 
>> Officials reminding everyone to stay cool and to hydrate. 
And the thing about heat is some people don't realize they're so far gone until it's too late. 
>> FIFA fans out in force at FanFest and games along the East Coast from New Jersey to Atlanta. 
>> It's very exciting. I like everything. 
Um, so it's very very exciting, but it's a it's very very hot. If you come out here unprepared, you're in for a rude awakening. 
>> Event organizers patrolling the grounds in the event someone needs help. 
>> We're here if you need us, but we don't want you to be on our patient list. 
I mentioned we've seen quite a few people already out in the water, mostly surfers, but authorities stress that is what they do not want you to do. 
They want you to swim only in a lifeguard protected area. They're here to keep everyone safe. 
George. Okay, Rana, thanks very
