A mammoth storm and multiple facets slams the eastern half of the United States with powerful winds, blizzard conditions and serious thunderstorms for the second consecutive day.
The strong almost record storm of walking reached the east coast early on Wednesday after delivering fatal thunderstorms and whisking the dust of suffocation and forest fires to spread rapid in the center and the south of the United States on Tuesday.
Here is the last:
• Powerful thunderstorms reach east: Some storms caused a severe thunderstorm early in the morning and tornado warnings in parts of the Carolines. Some of the strongest storms on Wednesday will lead to gusts of wind and tornadoes damaging to Carolines and Virginia in the afternoon.
• The storm has become fatal: At least three people died in Mississippi after serious thunderstorms swept the state on Tuesday. The coroner of the county of Madison, Alex Breeland, told CNN that a person had been electrocuted and that another died when a tree fell on a car. Another person died in Clarke County, according to the state emergency management agency.
• Damage left behind: The violent storms left a trace of damage in the south and the plains on Tuesday. Tuesday morning, an EF1 tornado tore a community in Ada, Oklahoma, Tuesday morning, according to the National Weather Service. Images on social networks have shown reversed structures and general destruction. ADA’s tornado was one of the eight EF1 tornadoes that hit parts of Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana. A warehouse partially collapsed near the Dallas region while thunderstorms also damaged the roofs, destroys the electric lines and the left debris dispersed in neighboring cities.
• Spurred power outages: The powerful gusts of storm wind, violent thunderstorms and snow eliminated power in more than 20 states. More than 200,000 houses and businesses were still in darkness through the center of the United States, the Southeast and certain parts of the Midwest on Wednesday afternoon, against a peak of more than 500,000, according to Poweroute.us. More than 70,000 of them were in Texas.
• Draws rapid evacuations in two states: Dozens of fires broke out in Texas on Tuesday in the middle of a serious risk of fire in a large part of the state. The fire of the welder complex broke out in Sinton on Tuesday afternoon, burned several structures and forced evacuations, reported the affiliate of CNN, Kris. The strong winds in the county of Atascosa resulted in several house fires on Tuesday afternoon, announced law enforcement officials. The risk of fire decreased on Wednesday, but the persistence of powerful wind power could cause problems for all ongoing flames. Forest fires have also caused evacuations in Tennessee. The evacuations were lifted in the county of the Surer Wednesday morning and in the county of Monroe by the afternoon.
• Blizzard conditions: Blowing snow created white conditions in some parts of Iowa Wednesday morning, making travel “very dangerous”, warned the patrol of the state of Iowa. The crews responded to more than 60 accidents and helped more than 300 motorists in the afternoon, according to the patrol. Parties of Interstate 80 are “impracticable,” said the Iowa Ministry of Transport, warning motorists to avoid using these roads. Part of the Interstate 35 north of the monks also closed Wednesday following a series of accidents in the middle of white conditions. Blizzard’s warnings remain active for parts of Iowa, Minnesota and Michigan. Raffales of 50 to 70 MPH rugged in the region during the night and Wednesday morning. Tuesday afternoon, the same storm brought Blizzard conditions west of Kansas, where the city of Hugoton recorded a burst of wind of 93 mph.
• Rage dust storms: The sky above Dallas looked like a Martian landscape on Tuesday while the winds mounted red dust. It was the second consecutive day that a storm of disruptive dust ran through parts of the state.
On Wednesday, more than 8 million people in Carolines and southern Virginia are under a risk of level 3 out of 5 serious thunderstorms, according to the Storm Prediction Center. Storms in this area could trigger gusts of wind and damaged tornadoes, although the threat of tornado is less important than it was on Tuesday.
The threat of storm does not stop there.
More than 21 million people from Georgia at Pennsylvania – including Washington, DC and Baltimore – are lower – level 2 of 5 – serious thunderstorms. Damaged gusts of wind and some tornadoes are also possible in these storms.
Strong rains will dip the areas north of the place where serious thunderstorms rumble. It is not supposed to cause generalized flood problems, but cities like Philadelphia, New York and Boston could see sudden floods, especially in low and bad drainage areas.
Strong gusts of wind from 30 to 40 MPH will blow over a large part of half east from the United States on Wednesday. These persistent winds could hinder power restoration efforts or lower the additional trees and power lines.
Blizzard’s warnings will expire for the center of the United States and the Midwest by Wednesday afternoon, where total snowfall totals and 65 MPH gusts are possible in eastern Nebraska in the south of Minnesota. In some parts of the Wisconsin and the northwest of Michigan, winter weather alerts are in place until the beginning of Thursday, where snowfall totaled one foot and gusts at 45 MPH are possible.
A large part of the storm precipitation will end on Thursday, but the burst winds will persist in its wake.
