More than 120,000 without power in Texas as severe storms threaten more tornadoes and flooding across South, barrel toward Northeast | CNN

Over 60 million people are under a threat of severe storms and nearly 80 million people from Texas to Pennsylvania are under high wind alerts

The storm system is the same that dumped feet of snow across parts of California, leaving some trapped in their homes with snow piled as high as second-story windows and prompting the governor to declare a state of emergency in 13 counties. Many of those affected are now bracing for another round of snow and rain on Saturday.

Across Texas and Oklahoma, there were 18 hail reports, with the largest hailstones reportedly 1.75 inches in diameter, or roughly the size of a golf ball. About 120,000 people in Texas were still without power early Friday, according to outage tracker PowerOutage.us, including about 8,000 people in metro Dallas-Fort Worth’s Collin County, where winds were strong enough to knock over four 18-wheel semi-trucks, causing portions of a highway to be shut down, police said in a tweet.
