A severe winter storm has caused havoc across the Mid-Atlantic to the South, resulting in at least three deaths and leaving almost half a million energy customers without power. The National Weather Service issued warnings of large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes over multiple states, leading to over 70 million people under various weather alerts. The storm claimed the lives of individuals in Indiana and Oklahoma, with reports of trees being knocked down by strong gusts. The NWS urged those under tornado watch to seek shelter immediately. The severe weather system caused power outages in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Indiana, with makeshift shelters set up in churches, schools, and firehouses. The storm is forecasted to move into the Atlantic by late Monday. Meanwhile, the West Coast is expected to experience heavy rain, high winds, and heavy snow in the coming days. Reports and images of flooding in Florida were observed over the weekend, impacting events such as the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. The Pacific coastal weather system is predicted to bring more extreme weather conditions to northern California and southern Oregon, with heavy snowfall in mountain regions. The weather system will continue to move east into the Plains and Mississippi Valley, keeping conditions volatile.
