More Tornados!! This time in the south.
24 tornados were reported Tuesday along the East coast. More than 200,000 homes and businesses lost power. The worst damage was caused in North Carolina where 11 people were injured and several homes damaged. High winds are hitting the Midwestern region as well as reports of snow. Duluth reported atleast 7 inches. Schools were closed due to the amount of snow. The weather in the Midwest has lead to many cancelled flights out of cities including Chicago, Boston, and New York. About 500 flights were cancelled in O'Hare as well as about 200 the next day. This event illustrates the many ripple effects of a hazard. The flights that were cancelled as a result of the tornadoes prevented many people from travelling. It also disrupted many families and their homes.
