I have fixed wood floors that where way worse then these. Remove a section of floor boards at least 2-3 boards wider than the ones that buckled. If you have time stack them with weight on them for a week or two and they will flatten back out enough to use. While your waiting on them to settle down figure out why/where you have the moisture issue. Get that fixed. Do not depend on someone heating the house hot or other things make it idiot proof. LOL (I am usually the idiot that forgets to open or close vents and such.)
when your ready to repair the floor. Measure the space real well. Then you will need to cut down the boards on a table saw so that you have them narrow enough to fit back into the open section. Narrow the double grove side and the top of the tongue. Usually maybe an 1/2 on each side of the board. Use an air finish nailer to hold your boards down. You shot the nails through the tongue and grove part so they are hidden. Then on the last two boards if you have measured right they should be a tight fit. I leave both the grove and tongue on. I put both boards against the nailed boards. Standing the unnailed sides up in a teepee formation. Push the center down and the boards should go into place. If they do not take a hand plane and narrow the tight places until they go in place. Then nail the last boards down from the top an then use a nail set and counter sink the nail heads. I usually do not care about a wider cap since I refinish the floor anyway. The new finish coat will hide a slightly wider crack. I usually sand and refinish the entire floor. You usually can not find the repaired spot if you did not know where it was.
