Hurricane Beryl and its remnants have carved a path of destruction from Texas to the Northeast, leaving millions without power in its wake. Now, forecasters are monitoring a new area that could spell trouble off the coast of the Southeast U.S.

The wrath of what was Hurricane Beryl has now stretched from Texas to New England. The former hurricane's remnants brought tornadoes to western New York and widespread flash flooding to New Hampshire and Vermont. Rainfall totals reached 3-6 inches and there were multiple reports of washed out roads and bridges in New Hampshire.

Heat alerts cover much of the West as millions deal with days of triple-digit heat. The large area of high pressure that is responsible for the heat wave will finally break down later this week, but not before people from Idaho to Arizona experience record-setting temperatures.

The remnants of Hurricane Beryl helped stir up severe weather across the Northeast on Wednesday, including these tornadoes spotted in New York.

Sicilians deal so well with drought that tourists don’t notice, a record dry year could alter that
Lakes are dry and fields are scorched by heat in Sicily, but water is still gushing copiously for tourists. After an almost totally rain-free year on the Italian island, fountains inside Agrigento's famous archaeological park are still flowing, and pools in rows of hotels are full. Like many Mediterranean islands, people in Sicily are used to long spells without rain, but human-caused climate change has made weather more erratic, and droughts can be longer and more frequent.
