It’s been so hot in St. Louis even the streets are buckling:
Temperatures over the past week have gotten so hot even the streets are buckling from the heat.
As a heat wave gripped the region, at least four streets across St. Louis, St. Charles and St. Louis counties curled, arched or cracked and created spots where roads jutted up into the air like ramps.
It has been hotter in the modern era–I remember in the middle 1980s when the temperature topped 100 degrees for, what, two weeks? We were visiting my aunt’s flat-top roofed brick house with no air conditioning at the time.
I don’t remember stories about streets buckling.
So is it the heat that has changed? Or the streets?
