Tornadoes hit the southeastern United States, snow storms and strong winds hit the West Coast and led to the delay and cancellation of thousands of flights during the holiday season in a number of American states.
The National Weather Service and local law enforcement agencies said that at least 10 tornadoes struck the southeastern states of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi on Saturday, killing one person near Houston.
Winds as strong as 150 mph hit the high elevations of California’s Lake Tahoe Basin and 50 mph at lower elevations in the region recently, with heavy rain expected from San Francisco to Portland, Oregon.
