Yeah if the yeast weren't dry then likely they're dead. They can handle extremely dry and hot situations when they're in their desiccant form with no water, however add water and heat to the same temp then you have yourselef some dead yeast. It's the yeasts not being prep'd for 'OMG HOT!' mode.

Good things have happened. I managed to stabilize my fermenting temps to around 68*F By placing the fermenter in container with water to transfer heat out. Unfortunately it sat at 72-74 for a quick minute before I found a solution to my heat issue. Do you guys think that will cause many...

The environment the yeast is grown in provides selective pressure on the yeast. The selective pressures will influence the yeast that will survive in the next generation. You have to assume there will be variation in population(major principle of genetics) and that the environment, among other...

You have nothing to worry about. The state of Alabama is in a huge money bind right now. Individual counties could seek out brewers, but it's a waste of time compared to seeking out marijuana growers. Even then the extent they search is little unless they have prior knowledge of the situation...
