Shocking Iced Flood Hits The United States, Killed Atleast Six(Photos) by Explorers(m): 8:33am On Jan 05, 2018
Boston experienced historic flooding on Thursday, as a 'bomb cyclone' winter storm hit the Northeast, causing travel chaos across the region, but officials have predicted that the aftermath may be deadlier than the storm.

While most people have kept their eyes on Winter Storm Grayson that has claimed the lives of six people, the National Weather Service has predicted 'life-threatening' cold overnight Friday and Saturday for much of the Northeast.



More than 5,000 flights in and out of the US today were cancelled

In the next 24 hours, the Northeast will be sent into a deep freeze that could cause roads and streets to be covered with a sheet of snow and ice for days.

Sad.

At least their emergency services are functional so loss of human life would be minimal.

Unlike a country I know where the funds for emergency were not released or have been embezzled leaving the citizens to their fate

Ooh I so feel for insurance companies this period in America.
They will pay ehh!! Them never recover from Irma coverage nor this one too. Issorite.

Btw, America should quit 'beeching' already. This is just OT when you compare to Canada and Russia. These other nations takes this in stride and keep walking but "drama Queen" America will flood the news with it.
