Bad weather moves into Eastern states; 5 dead in South
More than 300,000 homes and businesses in the southeastern United States were without power early Friday after a powerful storm raked the region. At least five people were killed.
North Carolina had the most customers without electricity on Friday, followed by Pennsylsvania, according to poweroutages.us. The outages matched states that were under high wind and winter weather advisories issued by the National Weather Service.
Forecasters warned that the storm system could bring gusts of 50 mph to 60 mph from the Carolinas into New England, potentially toppling rain-soaked trees and making driving hazardous.
