Intense thunderstorms and heavy rainfall killed at least 5 people and cut power to more than 300,000 homes and businesses across the southeast US early Friday.
There were eight tornado reports and more than 140 damaging wind reports across several states. Greenville, South Carolina, picked up nearly 6 inches of rain Thursday — making it the city's wettest day in 15 years.
Heavy snow was expected to continue swamping a swath of the east, from west-central New York to northern Maine, with additional snow piling up 2 to 6 inches from Pennsylvania to Maine and parts of northern New England getting 9 to 12 inches. Even though the rain will end, winds will howl into the overnight hours. Wind gusts up to 50 mph are forecast for cities like Washington, D.C., and Boston, while New York City could see wind gusts as high as 60 mph.
