US Winter Storm Disrupts Travel And Power
A major winter storm is moving across large parts of the United States, bringing snow, freezing rain and sharp drops in temperature from Texas and Oklahoma towards the Midwest and eastern regions. Snowfall has been reported in parts of north Texas and Oklahoma City, with icy conditions developing as the system advances.
Flights Cancelled, Travel Hit
The storm has triggered widespread travel disruption, with thousands of flights cancelled across the country. Airports in the South, Midwest and Northeast have been affected as airlines suspend operations due to poor visibility and unsafe runway conditions. Road travel has also been impacted, with authorities warning of hazardous driving conditions due to ice-covered highways.
Power Outages And Safety Warnings
Utility companies have reported power outages in several areas as ice accumulation weighs down power lines and trees. Weather agencies have warned of further outages and urged residents to limit travel, prepare emergency supplies, and follow local advisories as the storm continues to move east.
