Texas death toll from February storm, outages surpasses 100

Four deaths were reported in Bexar County, according to the Texas Department of State Health Servicesโ€™ website. The number could continue to rise as officials link more deaths to the storm that knocked out power to more than 4 million customers in Texas. Many homes went without power or drinkable water for days after subfreezing temperatures, failing power plants and record demand for heat pushed Texasโ€™ electric grid to the breaking point. Texas officials earlier this month put the initial tally of deaths at 57 but warned it would increase. AdThe disaster has launched a congressional investigation and led to the ouster of the head of the stateโ€™s embattled electric grid, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas.
