More than 95 million people are currently facing extreme cold temperatures as a polar vortex sweeps across the central United States. The National Weather Service reports that some areas in the Midwest are experiencing wind chills as low as -50 to -60 degrees.
The frigid conditions have led to the closure of schools, burst pipes, and an increased need for temporary shelters for the homeless. Public school districts in several states have canceled classes or switched to online learning to ensure the safety of students.
