Who remembers 1980’s heat wave? It was so hot in North Texas, they made “I survived” shirts. These newly digitized Star-Telegram photos are seen for first time since that steamy summer.

From June to August, the heat wave claimed 1,700 lives and cost $71 million dollars (adjusted for 2022) in agricultural damage.
