HOUSTON (AP) — Residents across Texas are recovering again from storms that ripped off roofs in Dallas and flooded roads in Houston. Up to 1 million homes and businesses were without power during the severe weather Tuesday. One electric utility said Wednesday that some outages could linger into the weekend. A 16-year-old construction worker was killed when a house being built near Houston collapsed. A 6-year-old boy and two adults were critically hurt at a campground after they were shocked by a downed power line. The National Weather Service says the active weather pattern will continue in the central U.S.
