A severe winter storm is causing widespread power outages across the U.S., impacting over 950,000 customers, particularly in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky. The National Weather Service warns that nearly 180 million people are threatened by heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain, with emergency declarations approved in at least a dozen states. As temperatures drop dangerously low, states are mobilizing resources while schools and public events are being canceled. Officials urge residents to stay off the roads and prepare for prolonged outages and frigid conditions.
