More than 100,000 customers in the southern U.S. are still without power following damaging storms that have left residents searching for relief in sweltering temperatures. Dangerous triple-digit temperatures were again in the forecast Monday in Texas, where electricity providers warned that outages for some customers may stretch late into the week. In some parts of Louisiana and Mississippi, the heat wave has been accompanied by heavy rain, punishing winds, thunderstorms and hail.
