The death toll in the United States has risen to 14 people

The death toll in the middle and east of the United States increased to at least 14 people, after the area witnessed floods, winds, and ice temperatures.

The National Meteorological Authority warned of a winter storm bearing polar air that would cause “unprecedented frost”, as it is expected that the degree of wind cooling in the states of Montana and Northern Dakota will reach -60 degrees Fahrenheit (-51 ° C).

“I have more difficult news. The death toll in Kentucky now rose to 12,” Kentucky Governor Bishir said in a social media post.

In turn, Western Virginia Governor Patrick Morris said that his mandate also witnessed at least one death due to the weather, warning that “there are still many people missing.”

He also spent at least one person in Atlanta, Georgia (south).

The firefighter, Scott Powell, told local media that the dead man fell as a result of a “very large” tree at his home early Sunday morning.

For a previous press conference, Bishir said that most of the dead in Kentucky drowned when they were trapped in their cars due to the flood water, the level of which rose very quickly.

He added that among the victims is his mother and her child.

Warnings for the population

The ruler urged the population to stay away from the roads throughout the state, where the local and federal authorities declared a state of emergency.

According to Peshir, the emergency teams saved more than a thousand people within 24 hours.

In its warning deployment on Monday, the National Meteorological Authority warned that “the harsh cold polar air mass is expected to continue to influence the north of the central United States, while it also extends to the south and east over the next few days.”

Monday, the electrical current was returned to thousands of houses, but more than 50,000 homes were still without electricity in the western Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland states, according to the power monitoring site “Power Utdag Dot US”.
