Over 90 people killed following severe winter storms in the US

Over 90 people have died because of bad weather in the US. Winter storms have been hitting the country hard for the past week.

At least 25 people died in Tennessee and 16 people died in Oregon after severe ice storms. Oregon is still under a state of emergency.

Many people in large areas of the country are still without electricity.

The cold and icy weather should get better in a few days.

According to CBS, 92 people have died because of the weather in the past week.

Many people have died in Tennessee and Oregon, but also in places like Mississippi, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington, Kentucky, Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey, and other areas.

Last Wednesday in Portland, Oregon, three people died from electric shock when strong winds knocked down a power line and it hit the car they were in. The baby in the car lived.

Other deaths are still being looked into, including the death of a person in a five-car crash in Kentucky and four in Illinois.

Five people, most likely without a home, died in Seattle in just four days, says the Associated Press.

The weather in Mississippi has caused officials to tell drivers to only drive if they really need to and to be careful of ice on the roads. The colleges and universities in the state have made students come back later from winter break because of the weather.

The number of people who have died in the state went up to 11 after three more deaths were reported on Sunday.

Mississippi officials are looking into whether people were told there might not be enough water because of the storm, and that’s why they put water in their bathtubs. The change made the water pressure go down for a little while and many people in Jackson couldn’t get water from their faucets. This city has had water problems for a long time.

Water problems are still happening in Tennessee. About 400,000 people have to boil their water because of broken pipes in Memphis. This is happening in almost 30 other areas too. The local utility fixed 41 big water pipes and over 4,000 smaller ones because of the cold weather.

The company said to use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and preparing food until they say it’s okay to use tap water again. “It’s safe to use tap water for bathing and showering, just don’t drink it. ”

Restaurants and bars in the southern city of the US used bottled water to serve customers on Sunday. Some had to close or change their menus.

Many places in the US have their electricity back after the winter storm, but many people still don’t have power.

On Sunday evening, 45,000 people in Oregon didn’t have electricity. More power cuts happened in Pennsylvania, California, New Mexico and Indiana.

The National Weather Service says there will be an ice storm on Monday in some parts of Arkansas and Oklahoma. Driving will be very dangerous in many areas of the country on Monday.

Later, the snow will melt, and some weather experts say that warm air and rain might make some areas in the Midwest and north-eastern US flood.

By the end of the week, it may be hotter than usual in some eastern parts of the country.
