Northeast Ice and Snow Storm Leaves Deaths and Disruptions
A severe winter storm battered the Northeast with ice and snow, causing at least 20 deaths, widespread power outages, and school and business closures. Freezing rain felled trees and power lines as winds to 55 mph prompted a Xerox tower evacuation in Rochester. Maine expected heavy snow, Vermont schools closed, and many regions shifted to rain. Power outages persisted into Friday across multiple states with shelters in Kansas City and flight disruptions easing by day’s end.

Child drowns in Illinois flood near Anna
A 3 year old girl died when floodwaters swept her from her grandmother's arms during a stream crossing near Anna. Union County Sheriff Jim Nash said the woman attempted to carry the child across after judging the water too deep. About 200 emergency workers searched for more than two hours before recovering the body 200 yards downstream in brush. The girl's name was withheld. Heavy rain drenched much of southern Illinois since Tuesday, with up to 1.6 inches around Anna on Thursday.
