Winter's Wrath: Bitter Cold, No Power, and a Deadly Tornado

A massive winter storm has overwhelmed many parts of the United States this week. At least three people were found dead early Tuesday morning after a tornado tore through a seaside town in North Carolina. The twister was at the rough edge of a blast of winter weather across the US. Millions of people lost power due to below freezing temperatures. Authorities across the country warned of dangerous travel conditions.
