  • Heat Wave Breaks With Storms | Indianapolis News
    Jul 4 2026

    Central Indiana’s sweltering heat shows no sign of letting up—nearly 100 degrees with a heat index soaring past 105, and it’s been this way for five straight days. But there’s a glimmer of relief: the heat dome is weakening and shifting south, sparking isolated thunderstorms that bring much-needed downpours and lightning—though some have caused damage. Residents are visibly struggling, with social media buzzing about the discomfort and concern for the vulnerable. While storms may pop up through Friday evening, the Fourth of July will stay mostly dry but unbearably hot and humid. Keep an eye on Saturday night, when storms could disrupt fireworks, and Sunday’s heavy rain could cause flooding. Next week offers a slight reprieve from the humidity, though warmth will linger.

    Jul 4 2026

    One dude turned World Cup fandom into a globe-trotting legend—Casey Settleman just broke a Guinness World Record by attending a match every single day of the tournament, flying across 13 cities, logging tens of thousands of miles, and surviving on three hours of sleep. Starting in Mexico City, he chased 34 games in 39 days, soaking up fan culture from Dutch to Brazilian to Japanese supporters, even ranking Norway’s fans 1. Along the way, he asked fans for life advice to combat online negativity, found joy in human connection, and still found time to vlog Ohio State’s championship run. Now, he’s not slowing down—next stop: Big Ten Media Days and “Snapback Saturdays,” where he’ll cover college football one game a week.
