America's wild weather turns deadly as RV explodes with woman inside
Daily MailA deadly Arctic blast will continue sweeping across the U.S. on Monday and linger through at least midweek, subjecting nearly 100 million Americans to weather warnings while prolonging a bitter cold that has killed four people already, including an Oregon woman who died when a fire spread from an open-flame stove after a tree fell on to her RV. As temperatures in Texas plunged, the state's power grid operator appealed to residents to voluntarily conserve electricity Monday morning due to the cold weather causing 'record breaking demand' for energy. Across the country in Oregon, more than 120,000 homes and businesses were without electricity, most of them in the Portland metro area, a day after high winds and a mix of snow and ice brought down trees and power lines. The snow and gusting winds had let up Sunday in Oregon, but frigid temperatures meant roads remained treacherous and much of Portland was shut down.
