I believe it took place in California and the heatwave was being caused by a comet or meteor. I remember the main guy was a doctor (but had stopped practicing for some reason) until he had to help in the makeshift hospital. The main woman had an ex-husband who was a mechanic who robbed a bank...
Have to go into the city for a seminar on the day the "killer heatwave"hits Melbourne, so tomorrow on Saturday. Sounds almost scary but last weeks heat wave was almost unbearable. How do you survive walking 500meter to your car when it is 44 degrees? -:) Can you give me some "cool" ideas?
