How terrible is the United States facing a "bomb whirlwind" attack?
According to the US "World Journal" report, the National Weather Service has issued a warning of cold wind effect and icing covering a wide area, extending from South Texas to Canada and from Montana to Maine. This wave of Arctic low temperature has caused "ice damage" in various places, including the freezing of water towers in Iowa, the suspension of ferry service in new york, traffic jams caused by snow and ice for many times, and many accidents in which people accidentally broke into or fell into frozen ponds or lakes.
A new snowstorm will hit the southeastern part of the United States on the 3 rd, and may bring ice, rain and snow before heading north. Several schools in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina have announced the suspension of classes. Many southern states have established heating centers, calling on people to take care of their neighbors, especially the elderly, the sick or those who live alone.
Reuters reported that Georgia Governor Nathan Deal declared a state of emergency in 28 counties after the National Weather Service (NWS) issued a winter storm warning.
According to the report, this snowstorm will form a so-called "bomb cyclone". It is predicted that its air pressure will decrease as quickly as an explosion and its power will increase greatly. This may be the strongest snowstorm in winter in eastern New England for decades. Although it will snow in coastal areas, the most extreme weather will appear at sea.
This snowstorm will attract the polar vortex of arctic ice and cold air, and the cold wind effect will reduce the temperature to MINUS 30 degrees, and the east coast will usher in colder weather than it is now.
Jason Furtado, a professor of meteorology at the University of Oklahoma in the United States, said that there will be a snowstorm in the northeast this weekend, which may be very cold. "This cold wave will end with biting cold."
When most parts of the United States were freezing, the heat wave swept through the northernmost state of Alaska, and the temperature in Anchorage, the capital, reached a record 7 degrees Celsius on the 2nd.
The report also said that in the past week, the cold current caused at least 12 deaths. Authorities in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama have successively opened heating centers. In Texas, homeless activists distributed blankets and other heating supplies throughout Houston on the 2nd. In the emergency room of Atlanta Hospital, the number of patients seeking medical treatment for colds and other cold-related diseases has greatly increased.
According to a report by NBC New, it is estimated that more than half of the population in the United States, or about 654.38 billion people, are affected by this wave of sub-freezing temperatures.
Most people will die in winter, and many old people will freeze to death.
