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.
