More than 1 million homes and businesses lost power on Monday as a deadly storm lashed the eastern U.S. from Alabama to New York. At least two people died.
Meanwhile, CNN is reporting recent heat waves in the Southwest killed at least 147 people in five counties in Arizona, Nevada and Texas. Experts believe the actual death toll is far higher. In Baytown, Texas, one couple who had been married for 52 years died after their air conditioning broke and they couldn’t afford to fix it.
