According to the report, at least six deaths were reported as a massive winter storm pummeled eastern and southern states in the US on Sunday with freezing rain, heavy snow, and icy roads, shutting down airports and highways and knocking out power to more than a million people as it gained intensity.
The report stated that Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas have been hit the hardest so far, with accumulating ice snapping power lines, causing electricity outages and crippling major cities like Atlanta, Houston, and Nashville, where most businesses and school districts have shut down as a preventive public safety measure.
According to the PowerOutage.us website, which tracks outages across the United States, Tennessee has suffered the most blackouts, with up to 339,000 customers without power as of mid-afternoon Sunday.
The report said that nearly 180,000 people in Mississippi are without power, and almost 150,000 customers in Louisiana are in the dark. Texas and Georgia each have nearly 100,000 customers without electricity, and emergency crews are working around the clock to try to restore power as quickly as possible.
The report added that heavy snow is also wreaking havoc in the Midwest, including Ohio, where major cities like Cincinnati and Columbus have gotten 6 to 10 inches (15 to 25 centimeters) so far. Nearly a foot (30 centimeters) of snow has accumulated in the state's southwestern cities of Dayton and Springfield, with city officials urging residents to stay off the icy roads and highways and remain at home.
In addition to the report, other states have also been inundated by the heavy snowfall, including Arkansas (8 inches/20 centimeters), Illinois (11 inches/28 centimeters), Indiana (13 inches/33 centimeters), Kansas (12 inches/30 centimeters), Missouri (7 inches/18 centimeters), and Oklahoma (6 inches/15 centimeters). Parts of North Texas received 5 inches (13 centimeters) of snowfall, according to weather forecasters. Flights are canceled. Forecasters said the deep freeze is expected to last for many states through the early part of the week as the storm lingers across a large swath of the US.
