Почти 38 миллионов человек находятся под угрозой опасной зимней погоды в южно-центральной части США, от Теннесси до Техаса.
Смесь ледяного дождя, мокрого снега и очень холодного воздуха уже обрушилась на некоторые районы региона и, как ожидается, продлится до середины недели.
Было отменено более 1800 рейсов, особенно пострадали аэропорты в Техасе.
More than 1,800 flights were canceled and many more delayed on Tuesday as a brutal ice storm continued to hit parts of the South and central US. https://t.co/8kxBvXy5oa

Прогноз предполагает «рискованные условия для поездок» в ближайшие несколько дней.
Во вторник утром Национальная метеорологическая служба предсказала, что на дорогах в Остине, Далласе, Литл-Роке и Мемфисе скопится более полудюйма льда. Уже фиксируются ДТП из-за скользких дорог. Два человека погибли в результате аварий в Техасе.
