St. Louis Weather Heat Index Expected To Hit 111 Today
As a wise man once sang to Carlos Santana: “Man, it’s a hot one.” We knew this heat wave was coming, but somehow that doesn’t make it feel any more tolerable. It’s overcast outside right now — the sun isn’t even bright and blazing — but we still might hit the triple digits before the sun sets tonight.

American Red Cross Urges Caution As Heat Indices Rise
ST. LOUIS - With hot temperatures and high humidity on the horizon, the American Red Cross of Missouri and Arkansas urges residents to take precautions against the heat. According to the National Library of Medicine, extreme heat causes more deaths than any other weather-related hazard, killing 12,000 people living in the U.S. each year. In addition, the CDC reports that more than 65,000 people visit an emergency room in the U.S. for acute heat illness every summer. Everyone is at risk when temperatures rise above 90 degrees; and the elderly and the very young are most susceptible to heat and heat-related illnesses. Heat-related illnesses can cause serious injury and even death if unattended. Signs of heat-related illnesses include nausea, dizziness, flushed or pale skin, heavy sweating and headaches. Persons with heat-related illness should be moved to a cool place, given cool water to drink and ice packs or cool wet cloths should be applied to the skin. If a victim refuses water,
Voter Integrity Is A Hot Button Topic For Spain, Hackler and Walters
ALTON – Republicans Joe Hackler, a candidate for 112 th district state representative, Ryan Spain, a House representative for the 73 rd District, and Madison County Clerk candidate Mike Walters were interviewed prior to a voter reform discussion in O’Fallon late last week. The three were each supportive of some major changes in regard to election integrity in Illinois and in the area. “I am thankful to have Rep. Spain and Tim Butler as election integrity experts to sit on committees,” Hackler said. “I think one of the biggest problems in the state of Illinois is a trust with government, whether it be local or state. One of the first things I think we need to do is to make changes so people trust the election process. If you don’t have trust in the election process, you will never trust state government at all.” Hackler said he thought the Election Integrity Roundtable in O’Fallon went well and some good ideas came from the evening.
