An intense winter storm has formed in the Southeastern United States, devastating transportation conditions and power lines. Heavy snow, freezing rain, and large build-ups of ice have interrupted the daily commutes of citizens all over the Southeast. This storm has caused thousands of flights to be canceled, many out of Atlanta. Ice accumulations have built up on power lines and tree branches, breaking them and the source of electricity. It has been reported that more than 25 centimeters of snow have fallen, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency has dispatched teams to aid in the area. Thousands of people have been stripped of power because of the powerful storm, and it has already begun to move northward into the Northeast.
