"Storm of the Century" kills 50 people in the United States

Emergency crews began to inspect the losses of the blizzard that prevented millions of Americans from celebrating Christmas, especially in the snow-covered areas of western New York in what the authorities described as the "storm of the century", which has killed about 50 people in the United States so far.

Parts of the northeastern United States continued to experience a series of storms with snow, wind and freezing temperatures that swept the country for several days, causing widespread power outages and flight cancellations.

The storm has led to the cancellation of more than 15,000 flights in recent days, including about 1,700 flights on Monday, and forecasts that the weather forecast will continue to snow in Buffalo, which is used to bad winter weather, and add a 14-inch (35 centimeter) layer of ice. In addition to what has accumulated for days and led to the paralysis of the city and the collapse of its emergency services.

Stormy weather continued to camp over Erie County in western New York, where Buffalo is located, which has become the epicenter of the weather crisis.

And New York Governor Kathy Hochul expressed her shock at what she saw during a reconnaissance tour of the city, and said: "Certainly it is the storm of the century, it is too early to say that it is about to end."
