The stifling heat continues to grip Missouri, with the US National Weather Service forecast predicting the sweltering weather to persist until the end of the week. A quick internet search for updates on the heatwave yields a "Severe Weather Alert," warning residents to take precautions to prevent illness.
Local officials have also confirmed that Siemers Drive isn't the only road in the city affected. Two roads, including this one, have buckled under the relentless heat.
Social media users have speculated about the cause of the incident, with some suggesting a damaged water line rather than the heatwave. An X user wrote, "Most likely New Madrid Fault Line movement. Heat and humidity ain't causing something like that."
Another user added, "From a heatwave? Some expansion and contraction with weather but not buckling like that. Maybe water lines or something, but not heat. What do they use under their roads? Air?"
