US holiday travel disrupted with over 7,000 flights affected amid severe weather
India TodaySevere weather disrupted holiday travel on Saturday across the US with deadly tornadoes in the southeast and heavy snow and wind on the west coast, delaying or cancelling thousands of flights across the country. At least 10 tornadoes touched down in the southeastern US states of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi on Saturday, leaving one person dead near Houston, the National Weather Service and local law enforcement said. "Those numbers will probably go up," said forecaster Aaron Gleason, with the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. Out west, high winds, with gusts up to 150 mph in the high elevations of the Tahoe Basin in California and 50 mph at lower elevations hit the area this weekend, and with heavy rainfall expected from San Francisco to Portland, Oregon, forecasters said.
