The gust of winds in places reaches 150 km per hour. Also in the coastal areas there is snow and ice.

The greatest danger to the inhabitants is the threat of flooding - many streets per meter are flooded with icy water.

Recall that two strong people died as a result of a severe storm in the south of the state of Kentucky.
