Fierce Storms Leave 140,000 Texans Without Power For Days1 min read

More than 140,000 people remain without power in Texas, days after fierce thunderstorms and a series of tornadoes swept across the state.

At least eight people were killed in the storms, which also battered the nearby states of Louisiana and Mississippi late last week.

In Houston, the lingering outages have left many without air conditioning during sweltering heat and humidity.

In some areas, it could be days or weeks until power is fully restored.
