Yikes! More temperature woes

I live in central Florida, but had to go on the road for a week recently. I have window units in my place, which makes it difficult to keep the temperatures down, but if I seal off a room and leave the AC running, I can usually keep temperatures down to about 72-75*, even in the summer months. So when I went on the road, I left my window unit running in my bedroom, w/ the humi's right in front of the AC vent. When I got home last night, I found that the power had gone off at some point during my week away, and the AC didn't kick back on when the power was restored. The temp in my humis was over 90*, and I have no way of knowing whether they were like this for 1 day or 7. It doesn't appear that any beetles have hatched at this point. So my questions are as follows:

1) If no beetles have hatched yet, am I safe, and can I assume the cigars I have are safe from now on?

2) Can temperatures nearing 100* have any other ill effects (aside from the beetle threat) on cigars?

Thanks for any info you can provide me w/.
