Heat kills thousands of fish


Thousands of fish are dying in lakes and rivers across the US in the stifling heat. The excessive heat throughout June and July is reducing the amount of oxygen in the waters and therefore resulting in fish deaths. The picture shows some of the 10,000 bluegills that have died in Knoxville, Tennessee. 

The stench of rotting fish is "really putrid' Paula Gumpman, a local resident told the Knoxville News Sentinel. "It's like after a hurricane. Gooky and yucky."
