The heat continues to scorch south central Missouri, and HOEC has issued another PEAK ALERT. Please alternate or avoid use of major appliances (washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens and stoves) until 7 pm. Unplug unused chargers and devices. Raise thermostats a few degrees if possible. By conserving energy and helping reduce energy use, you can help control rates in future years. You can make a difference.
