In the US, a powerful storm will affect millions of people: details

The cyclone, which intensified on Wednesday in California, will turn into a powerful six-day storm that will move from the southwest to the mid-Atlantic.

The National Aviation Service has warned that the snow storm will affect tens of millions of people, as it will cause heavy snowfall and icing, flooding due to heavy rains and, possibly, a tornado or even two.

At least a dozen states of snow will fall, and more than 20 states will experience the effects of the storm in the form of heavy rains. Problems with air traffic and on the roads, as well as significant interruptions in power supply are expected.

Before the storm hits the states, there is a cold snap in most areas.
