The storm left hundreds of thousands without power, with Missouri declaring a state of emergency as flooding closed roads and districts faced record rainfall and heavy snow. Local officials noted higher fatalities in Texas and Illinois, while forecasted ice storms and rising water threatened further damage across multiple states.
