The heatwave sweeping the U.S. has left much of the country facing rolling power cuts as energy firms struggle to cope with the demand. LOSING POWER IS THE WORST!

A total of fifty five cities recorded their highest ever temperatures yesterday with the scorching heat not expected to peak until Friday.

Power companies are warning customers to expect scattered outages for the next few days as the power grid is stressed at capacity.

As the sixth day of the scorching summer heat draws to a close, officials are urging customers to conserve energy, with the heat wave that has claimed at least 22 lives expected to intensify through the weekend.
