The storm also dumped 17 feet of snow in California, leaving residents trapped in the San Bernadino Valley. Officials reported deaths in Alabama, Mississippi, and California. More than 60 million people were under threat of severe storms, with further high wind alerts in Texas to Pennsylvania affecting 20 million people.
The storm has caused widespread power outages and travel chaos, with residents in Kentucky, Michigan, Tennessee, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Alabama all affected.
