At least 22 killed in US storms
Nearly 1.8 million people in the eastern US faced another sweltering day without power as the death toll from weekend summer storms rose to 22.
Stifling homes and spoiled food were some of the challenges as temperatures approached or exceeded 100 degrees (38 degrees Celsius). Concerns rose about the sick and elderly – especially vulnerable without air conditioning in the sweltering heat. Many sought refuge in hotels or basements.
