Good morning, Cape Girardeau.

Cape Girardeau City Council honored business owner Miguel Morales at its Monday meeting for his rescue of a driver trapped in floodwaters near his food truck on June 8 (city leaders praised his bravery amid dangerous conditions).

A greenish-blue fireball streaked across the night sky on Sunday, June 14, catching many residents' eyes in Cape Girardeau + Hayti just before 10:30 p.m. Witnesses shared photos, and experts remain unsure if it was a meteor or space debris.

Local business leaders met Monday at The Collective to plan ways to boost downtown growth and shared ideas to strengthen community commerce.

Eight owners gathered to discuss strategies that could help attract more visitors to local shops.

The Jackson School District will host the Missouri Association for Pupil Transportation’s 2026 School Bus Safety Competition to test the skills of school bus drivers at South Elementary and Jackson High School.

The event starts on June 18 and ends with an awards reception on June 19.

A bright green fireball lit the sky near Cape Girardeau around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, drawing local witnesses and experts who said the unusual flash may be larger than most meteors and has high nickel content (per the American Meteor Society).
