Thousands of homes and businesses were left without power Tuesday as violent storms swept across multiple states, leaving at least one person dead.
Thousands of homes and businesses were without power Tuesday as severe weather roared through several states, causing at least one death and spawning possible tornadoes. In West Virginia, about 140,000 customers were without electricity Tuesday afternoon, or about 14% of all customers tracked in the state by poweroutage.us. Meanwhile, a spring snowstorm was expected to drop more than a foot of snow in Wisconsin.
Tulsa Fire Department spokesperson Andy Little said the woman’s boyfriend told authorities the two had gone to sleep at the entrance of the drainage pipe and were awakened by the flood waters. National Weather Service meteorologist Robert Darby said up to 1.5 inches of rain fell in Tulsa in about one hour before moving northeastward out of the state. 'It wasn’t a whole lot. But when it came down it was pretty rapid,' Darby said.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear declared a state of emergency after severe storms swept through the state Tuesday morning and another round was forecast later in the day. The storms brought tornado warnings, heavy rain and wind along with hail and lightning. 'We have reports of substantial damage to a number of structures – and thankfully, as of right now we are not aware of any fatalities,' Beshear said in a statement.
The storm was expected to move into New England Wednesday night into Thursday, with forecasts of 12 to 18 inches of snow in parts of New Hampshire and Maine and lesser amounts in other areas, the National Weather Service said. Wind gusts could reach 50 mph in some places, bringing the possibility of power outages, the service said.
