Something is wrong with the statistics!

Yes,I am sure that they did not get all of this.
reply by fredo on Apr 10, 2011 1:44 PM ()
In the Hottest cities, the item number five shows
"5. Yuma, Florida 73.9 "
It is an error typo and should be "Yuma, AZ." I have seen these stats somewhere before.
Thanks!
