KVIA By ADAM BEAM Associated Press SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A record-setting heat wave is making life miserable in the West. Temperatures neared an all-time high Tuesday in Sacramento, California. Records fell for three consecutive days over the holiday weekend at Lake Tahoe on the California-Nevada line atop the Sierra Nevada. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom warned there could be a power shortage, which would prompt blackouts for some customers. State officials urged people to conserve electricity in the late afternoon and early evening.
