MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The Milwaukee area began drying out Monday after weekend rain hit unofficial records in Wisconsin of more than 14 inches (36 centimeters) in less than 24 hours, leading multiple rivers to flood at record-high levels, washing out vehicles, flooding basements and cutting power to thousands of homes.

No fatalities had been reported as of Monday morning from the storms that began Saturday night and stretched into Sunday. Road closures were more isolated Monday as flood warnings continued in Milwaukee, Waukesha and Ozaukee counties. About in the area remained without power as of Monday afternoon.

Residents couldn't believe what they saw as rains pounded the area Saturday night.

Colby McMillan and a friend were driving home around 11 p.m. in Milwaukee when their car stalled out in what McMillian thought was just a puddle.

Then the water started coming in under the door.

"As the water was coming in, it was like, 'What is happening?'" McMillan said Monday. "It was very, very shocking to me. We had to get out of this car and out of the rain. I had never seen anything like this before."

They escaped and helped others avoid getting stuck like they did. But the car was totaled, McMillan said.

When: February 2021

Where: Texas (Houston, Austin hardest hit)

Consequeces:

246 deaths, 4 million homes without power.

Grid collapse due to surging heating demand and frozen equipment.

Solution:

Power grid reforms (winterizing infrastructure).

Better emergency planning (stockpiling supplies, early warnings).

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Ferocious winter weather sweeping across large parts of the central and southern US has brought record-breaking cold temperatures, left millions without power and killed at least21 people across multiple states.

The worst power outages were in Texas, where more than 4m homes and businesses remained without power on Tuesday in subfreezing temperatures. Elsewhere more than 250,000 people also lost power across parts of Appalachia, and 4 million people lost power in Mexico. Another quarter-million were without electricity following an ice storm in north-west Oregon.

In North Carolina, three people were found dead after a tornado hit a seaside town, while in Texas, four family members perished in a Houston-area house fire while using a fireplace to stay warm. Others deaths occurred in states such as Louisiana, Kentucky and Missouri, from causes that included car crashes and carbon monoxide poisoning.

The storms overwhelmed power grids and immobilized the southern plains, carried heavy snow and freezing rain into New England and the deep south, and brought painfully low temperatures. Wind-chill warnings extended from Canada into Mexico. In Chicago, a foot and a half (46cm) of new snow forced public schools to cancel in-person classes for Tuesday. Snow even reached the normally balmy coastline of the Gulf of Mexico.

Storms dumped snow and ice from Ohio to the Rio Grande through the long Presidents Day holiday weekend, and treacherous weather was expected to grip much of the United States through Friday. Forecasters predicted up to 4in of snow and freezing rain from the southern plains into the north-east.

The weather also threatened to affect the nation's Covid-19 vaccination effort. Joe Biden's administration said delays in vaccine shipments and deliveries were likely.

Officials in Texas have faced criticism as the state energy grid repeatedly failed, forcing rolling blackouts. As utilities attempted to restore power to homes that lacked it while offices in downtown Houston remained lit up, the Harris county judge Lina Hidalgo, the top elected official in the city, told the Guardian: "History is going to remember who did their part and who didn't."

Many Texans were struggling, most in houses not built to retain heat. In Austin, Matthew Micik had gone 24 hours without power, the temperature in his house below 35F (1.6C). After finding a hotel room in nearby San Marcos, he drove through ice and sleet only to find most of that town had lost power too. He spent the night in his car.

From Galveston, Jessica Knofla said: "Basically, everyone who lives here had no warning and is stuck on a blacked-out island with no major stores open and no lights on the road. It's absolutely infuriating and I'm fucking pissed."

Many did not have water because of frozen or burst pipes. Kelsey Muñoz, an intensive care nurse in Dallas, said: "Currently, I have power and I'm hoping I am not jinxing myself by saying that. However, for water I've had to gather snow and melt it. Never thought I had to do that in Texas."

The blackouts forced Harris county to scramble to get more than 8,000 doses of Moderna's coronavirus vaccine into people's arms, after the county public health facility lost power and its back-up generator also failed. Officials distributed the doses at three hospitals, Rice University and the county jail. Hidalgo said she didn't believe any vaccines were lost.

The conditions also delayed vaccine shipments. State officials said Texas, due to receive more than 400,000 doses this week, did not expect deliveries until at least Wednesday.

The Southwest Power Pool, a group of utilities across 14 states, called for rolling outages because reserves were exhausted. Some utilities said they were starting blackouts, while others urged customers to reduce power usage. State officials said surging demand was driven by people trying to keep homes warm.

In a phone interview, Hidalgo told the Guardian: "We're facing all kinds of frustrating situations. We're asking folks to conserve energy. At last count, 1.37 million people in our region are without power. The other 3 [to] 4 million are conserving power to protect more from having to being cut. Then you have the buildings downtown lit up."

Harris county covers Houston, where outrage spread over office buildings and others in the city center that still had power.

"We noticed those from the emergency operations center last night," Hidalgo said. "We called around asking those leaders to take the power down. Some of them did around 11 [to] midnight. Some of them didn't. It just tells you everybody has to do their part. And as I've been stressing to my community today, that's not just the individuals. That's the businesses. History is going to remember who did their part and who didn't do their part."

Hidalgo said the electricity provider CenterPoint had "figured out a way to actually cut the electricity from those buildings, which they couldn't do last night because there's critical infrastructure going through downtown. They're doing that today throughout the day. It's not something people needed with already the tragedy and the nightmare that has unfolded with more than 24 hours without power for other people."

Authorities in multiple states reported deaths in crashes on icy roads. Deaths in Texas included a woman and a girl from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning in Houston, from a car running in a garage at a home without electricity, police said. Law enforcement said temperatures were probably to blame for the deaths of two men on Houston-area roads.

"The number one challenge is the nightmare of the power being out," Hidalgo said. "Many, if not most, of the first responders here with me at the emergency operations center have families back home that are having to also face no power and no water many times. We understand just how terrible this situation is.

"The second challenge after the power issue is the carbon monoxide poisoning. We've seen at least 50 incidents so far in the county as of this morning, but our fire marshal tells us that's just the tip of the iceberg. If you need to be in your car to warm up, that's fine but you've got to do it outside."

Elderly and homeless people were most vulnerable. Cities implemented "emergency warming centers" but it was not clear how they could follow Covid-19 safety protocols. More than 500 people were at one shelter in Houston but the mayor, Sylvester Turner, said others had to be shut because they lost power.

The San Antonio transportation authority suspended service and deployed supervisors to look for homeless people who needed a ride to a warming center. Alex Fleming, a pastor, had been volunteering at San Antonio's First Baptist church, an emergency warming center. Capacity is 45. As of Monday night, he said, they had sheltered 26 people.

"I think we would be at capacity because each day it kept growing. A lot of places are getting overpacked," Fleming said. "The only hard [thing] is that you can only take so many. You've got to turn people away sometimes."

In west Tennessee, a 10-year-old boy died after falling into an ice-covered pond on Sunday, fire officials said.

Several cities had record lows: in Minnesota, the Hibbing/Chisholm weather station registered -38F (-39C). Sioux Falls, South Dakota, dropped to -26F (-32C).

Air travel was also affected. At midday, more than 2,700 US flights had been canceled, led by more than 800 at Dallas Fort Worth international airport and more than 700 at Bush Intercontinental in Houston.

Authorities pleaded with residents to stay home on Tuesday. About 100 school systems closed, delayed opening or switched to remote classes in Alabama, where forecasters said conditions might not improve until temperatures rise above freezing on Wednesday afternoon.

Article: Kentucky tornadoes: Death toll likely to exceed 100, governor says (Reuters, 2021)

When: December 2021

Where: Kentucky (Mayfield, Dawson Springs destroyed)

Cónequece

80+ deaths, towns leveled; $3–5 billion in damages.

solution:

Federal disaster aid ($2B+ allocated).

Storm shelters and improved tornado warning systems.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The death toll from powerful tornadoes that devastated towns in Kentucky is likely to pass 100, the governor says, as hope of finding survivors wanes.

Andy Beshear said this was the most devastating tornado event in the state's history, with at least 80 confirmed deaths.

"Nothing that was standing in the direct line of [one] tornado is still standing," he said.

Fourteen deaths have been reported in four other states.

President Joe Biden has declared a major federal disaster in Kentucky and ordered federal aid to be made available to the hardest-hit areas.

Rescue workers scoured debris for survivors while teams distributed water and generators to residents. More than 300 members of the National Guard were going door to door and removing debris.

"We're still hoping as we move forward for some miracles to find more people," the governor said during a visit to the town of Mayfield, one of the hardest hit.

However, no-one has been found alive since Saturday morning.

Mr Beshear said a tornado had wrecked places all along its 227-mile (365km) path. Thousands of people had their homes destroyed though the exact number was still not clear.

Previously, the longest a tornado had travelled along the ground in the US was a 219-mile storm in Missouri in March 1925 that claimed 695 lives. Such major events outside of the spring and summer months are extremely rare.In Mayfield, the fire station and the city hall were flattened. "I don't think there's a pane of glass in any vehicle or property that the city owns that isn't shattered," Mayor Kathy Stewart said.

Eight deaths were confirmed at a candle factory that was hit when 110 employees were believed to be inside, a spokesperson for the company told Reuters news agency. Eight other people were still missing.

The numbers are far lower than previously feared, meaning that the governor's death toll estimate could be revised down.

Kyanna Parsons Perez, a factory worker who made a desperate plea for help on Facebook from under the wreckage, told the BBC that other businesses had shut down for the storm and staff there should not have been at work.

Ghost town

By Nomia Iqbal, BBC News, Cambridge Shores

Jerry Neal is going through the wreckage of what was once his home in southern Kentucky.

He picks up some Christmas decorations - two Father Christmas tree baubles and blue beads. "The heart's gone out of Christmas," he says.

Things have not been the same since his mother moved into a nursing home last year, he says. It was just him and his elderly father in the house.

"My mom designed this decades ago, she went back and forth with designers, she kept changing things, making them go crazy," he laughs. "Mom got the house she wanted. It was beautiful and now it's trash."

In Illinois, six people were killed in a collapsed Amazon warehouse in Edwardsville and more were still missing.

Four deaths were confirmed in Tennessee while two people were killed in Arkansas, one of them in a nursing home after it partly collapsed. One death was confirmed in Missouri.

President Biden said he would ask the Environmental Protection Agency to examine what role climate change might have played in the storms.

What was Hurricane Katrina?

Who was Hurricane Katrina named after?

What were Hurricane Katrina's wind speeds?

Why did Hurricane Katrina lead to widespread flooding?

What was the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the New Orleans public education system?

Hurricane Katrina, tropical cyclone that struck the southeastern United States in late August 2005. The hurricane and its aftermath claimed more than 1,800 lives, and it ranked as the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history.

Development

The storm that would later become Hurricane Katrina surfaced on August 23, 2005, as a tropical depression over the Bahamas, approximately 350 miles (560 km) east of Miami. Over the next two days the weather system gathered strength, earning the designation Tropical Storm Katrina, and it made landfall between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as a category 1 hurricane-a storm that, on the Saffir-Simpson scale, exhibits winds in the range of 74-95 miles (119-154 km) per hour. Sustained winds of 70 miles (115 km) per hour lashed the Florida peninsula, and rainfall totals of 5 inches (13 cm) were reported in some areas. The storm spent less than eight hours over land. It quickly intensified when it reached the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

On August 27 Katrina strengthened to a category 3 hurricane, with top winds exceeding 115 miles (185 km) per hour and a circulation that covered virtually the entire Gulf of Mexico. By the following afternoon Katrina had become one of the most powerful Atlantic storms on record, with winds in excess of 170 miles (275 km) per hour. On the morning of August 29, the storm made landfall as a category 4 hurricane at Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, approximately 45 miles (70 km) southeast of New Orleans. It continued on a course to the northeast, crossing the Mississippi Sound and making a second landfall later that morning near the mouth of the Pearl River. A storm surge more than 26 feet (8 metres) high slammed into the coastal cities of Gulfport and Biloxi, Mississippi, devastating homes and resorts along the beachfront.

Damage

In New Orleans, where much of the greater metropolitan area is below sea level, federal officials initially believed that the city had "dodged the bullet." While New Orleans had been spared a direct hit by the intense winds of the storm, the true threat was soon apparent. The levee system that held back the waters of Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne had been completely overwhelmed by 10 inches (25 cm) of rain and Katrina's storm surge. Some levees buttressing the Industrial Canal, the 17th Street Canal, and other areas were overtopped by the storm surge, and others were breached after these structures failed outright from the buildup of water pressure behind them. The area east of the Industrial Canal was the first part of the city to flood; by the afternoon of August 29, some 20 percent of the city was underwater.

Disasters of Historic Proportion

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin had ordered a mandatory evacuation of the city the previous day, and an estimated 1.2 million people left ahead of the storm. However, tens of thousands of residents could not or would not leave. They either remained in their homes or sought shelter at locations such as the New Orleans Convention Center or the Louisiana Superdome. As the already strained levee system continued to give way, the remaining residents of New Orleans were faced with a city that by August 30 was 80 percent underwater. Many local agencies found themselves unable to respond to the increasingly desperate situation, as their own headquarters and control centres were under 20 feet (6 metres) of water. With no relief in sight and in the absence of any organized effort to restore order, some neighbourhoods experienced substantial amounts of looting, and helicopters were used to rescue many people from rooftops in the flooded Ninth Ward.
