Jan. 23 (UPI) — At least 11 people are dead as a record breaking winter storm has ravaged the southern United States from Texas to Florida, closing airports, snarling traffic, and creating icy and dangerous driving conditions on the area’s freeways.
The powerful winter front brought snow, ice and dangerous cold to Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Florida, stopping traffic, and routine daily life, in its tracks.
