CHAOS for millions of Americans until next week, SECOND ice storm just hours away rolls across the US, tornados rip through Florida:
Tens of millions of Americans will suffer through days more of bitter cold, snow, and ice storms as a ‘one-two punch’ hits the US this week.
Wednesday is a brief reprieve for much of the country after an arctic blast killed at least nine people, blanketed half the US with snow, and cut power to thousands.
Longer-range forecasts still expect very cold temperatures until after the weekend, along with snow even in areas that haven’t had much of it for most of winter. Many states are still shivering through extremely low temperature at least for Wednesday morning until they warm up later in the day.
The National Weather Service still has wind chill advisories or warnings in effect for 26 states, from North Dakota to Florida, for Wednesday.
Wind chill was forecast to drop air temperatures even lower – down to -25F in parts of North Dakota, -16F in Chicago, and -12F in Nashville.
Even Tampa, Florida, was under a wind chill advisory with freezing air in the 20s forecast, and Austin and San Antonio, Texas, could break daily low records and drop to about 10F.
If that wasn’t bad enough, the Atlantic side of Florida was hit by tornados, leaving thousands without power in St Lucie and Martin counties.
Dramatic video showed one of the twisters rip across Interstate 95 near Palm City, Florida, as cars rushed to get out of the way.
The extreme weather is mostly due to an ice storm that hit the Pacific Northwest over the weekend, freezing out areas that usually only rain in winter, before moving east.
A second storm is forecast to wallop the area on Wednesday and continue for the rest of the week, moving across the country for a second freeze.
‘Unfortunately, another Arctic blast is expected to quickly follow this one,’ the National Weather Service said.
