Storms
in the US Midwest have claimed at least 14 lives as temperatures
plunged below freezing point over the holiday weekend. Tens of thousands
of homes have been left without electricity, while driving conditions
are treacherous due to icy roads.
A
wintry storm system that has been moving through parts of the Great
Plains and the Midwest since Thursday has brought extremely cold weather
to the region. Eight people have lost their lives in Texas, with a
further six dying in the state of Kansas.
The icy conditions are also causing havoc for local residents. Some 78,000 people in parts of Oklahoma have been left without power after trees collapsed onto power lines, according to Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co.
