An enormous storm blowing across the United States has spawned tornadoes in parts of Oklahoma and Texas, as much of the central part of the country — from the Rocky Mountains to the Midwest — braces for blizzard-like conditions.
An area stretching from Montana into western Nebraska and Colorado was under blizzard warnings, and the US National Weather Service said on Tuesday that as much as 61 centimeters (two feet) of snow was possible in some areas of western South Dakota and northwestern Nebraska. Ice and sleet were expected in the eastern Great Plains.
