As the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl continues to impact Texas, more than 2.7 million homes and businesses are currently without power, according to PowerOutage.us. The majority of these outages are concentrated in the greater Houston area, with additional areas along the coast north of Corpus Christi to the Texas-Louisiana border and extending inland through a significant portion of East Texas also affected.
The lack of power comes at a critical time as heat and humidity levels are expected to rise to dangerous levels on Tuesday. With high temperatures forecasted to reach the low 90s on Tuesday and Wednesday, coupled with elevated humidity levels, the heat index – which reflects how hot it feels to the body – is anticipated to soar into the 100s.
