 It's ghastly hot in a lot of the American West. People have died, and the heat could soon break records. Next week, there's a chance Death Valley will hit, get this, 130 degrees. If it gets to 130 degrees, that'll be the hottest temperature ever reliably measured on Earth. Las Vegas could also break a record. Anything above 117 degrees would blow the all-time record out of the water, and Las Vegas is forecast to be 119 degrees for much of the week next week. ABC's Alex Stone.
