The storm left thousands without power in the south, braving frigid temperatures. Here are the numbers

Kennesaw, Ga. (AP) — As a deadly storm that brought deep snow to the South and Northeast finally moved out to sea Monday, it represented a light at the end of the tunnel for some.

But thousands of Americans were still without power or heat, and temperatures were forecast to drop below freezing by Tuesday morning in the areas hardest hit by the blizzard.

More than 800,000 power outages were reported nationwide Monday morning, with more than 150,000 of them in the Nashville, Tennessee, area, according to Poweroutage.com. About 140,000 remained without power in hard-hit Mississippi, and 115,000 in icy Louisiana.

After a sleepless night in Iuka, Mississippi, Adrian Ronca-Hohn said he woke up Monday to what looked like a “war zone.”

“We couldn’t go 10 seconds without hearing what sounded like gunshots,” the 23-year-old football coach said of falling trees and branches. “You’d hear a pop, a loud pop, and you’d hear the whistle of it falling, and then it’d fall to the ground and kind of explode.”

Temperatures across the South are expected to be among the coldest of the week early Tuesday morning, leaving people without power scrambling to survive.

“We have a lot of people without heat, power and water. We have a lot of mobile homes here that are not very well insulated,” Ronka-Hohn said.
