– As the entire United States was frozen by a cold wave, a winter storm that had devastated damage to the South moved to the northeastern and central Atlantic regions. According to CNN on the 18th (local time), the cold wave that caused heavy snowfall and massive blackouts in southern Texas and other places has moved eastward and is affecting northeastern coastal areas such as North Carolina and Virginia. Snow, sleet and frozen rain fell in Washington DC, Virginia and North Carolina. It is expected that 6 to 8 inches of snow will fall in New York. Currently, more than 100 million people are in the affected area of winter storms in the United States.
Tornado warnings were issued in southern Georgia and Florida by the afternoon of the day and in southeast Alabama by the morning. The tornado was related to the storm that caused the winter cold that affected Texas to the northeast, CNN reported. CNN said, “Some of the people affected by the winter storm have spent days without water and electricity, and it is unlikely that the temperature will rise in the video until next week.” In recent years, more than 30 people were killed in a winter storm that struck southern regions such as Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas, where it is difficult to see snow in the United States, and power supply to millions of households has been cut off.
