A massive winter storm system has brought havoc to southern and central areas of the United States.
There have been more than 30 tornadoes, as well as blizzards and snow storms.
Residents have said they are very concerned by the dangers posed by the tornados and blizzards following the deaths of six people in storm-related accidents.
Two passengers in a car on an Arkansas motorway died when the vehicle crossed the centre line and struck another vehicle.
In Oklahoma, the Highway Patrol said a 76-year-old woman died when a truck crossed into oncoming traffic and hit the car she was in. The Highway Patrol earlier reported that a 28-year-old woman was killed in another crash.
The storm's winds were also blamed for toppling a tree onto a truck in Texas, killing the driver, and a tree onto a house in Louisiana, killing a man.
Weather warnings have been issued from the Deep South, through Ohio in the midwest and up to Maine in New England.
Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo has warned electricity, water and other utilities in the state that they will be held accountable for their operations during the latest storm.
Essential services were criticised for being slow to restart following damage caused by Superstorm Sandy in October.
The latest weather system has forced the cancellation of about 200 flights, crippled transport networks and has knocked out electricity to almost 200,000 people.
