A devastating ice storm slammed Michigan and Wisconsin, leaving over 400,000 people without power on Sunday. High winds brought down trees and power lines, turning churches, schools, and fire halls into makeshift warming centers. The damage is expected to take until Monday to fully repair, especially in rural areas. One county reported nearly all 13,200 residents without power, with trees continuing to fall. Meanwhile, Tennessee braced for severe weather, with potential 70mph winds, tornadoes, and hail up to 2 inches in diameter. Despite the arrival of spring, the situation remains dire in the affected areas, with residents resorting to creative solutions to stay warm and safe. In other news, firefighters in South Carolina reported progress in controlling wildfires in the Blue Ridge Mountains, with rain offering some relief.
