As severe storms prompted at least nine tornado reports in parts of the central US, a barrage of snow, rain and harsh wind is forecast Monday in places from the West Coast to the Great Lakes, including some still without power following a similar string of severe weather last week.
More than 265,000 US homes and businesses were without power as of Monday, according to PowerOutage.us. About half in Michigan, which is bracing for another round of ice and snow to hit the region Monday. Outages were also reported in Oklahoma, Missouri, Indiana, Texas, and California, which was hit by a major winter storm last week.
