Large swaths of the U.S. have faced an intense winter storm over the past several days, with more than 850,000 customers without power as of Saturday evening. Officials issued weather advisories and states of emergency across the country as the large storm system made its way through the U.S., with heavy winds, flooding and snow.
Heavy winds and possible tornadoes damaged homes and buildings, killing at least 12 people across the South and Midwest. The storm then moved Northeast, where the threat of heavy snow and coastal flooding prompted the National Weather Service to issue a winter storm warning.
