Heatwave Triggers Citywide Power Outages in St. Louis
A severe heat wave spurred record electricity demand across St. Louis and parts of Nebraska. Union Electric declared an emergency cutting power to large city areas for up to two hours as consumption hit 3,230,000 kilowatts.

No widespread hardship reported, though some water pumps failed and a Nebraska farmer lost ten cows from heat and water shortage.
