Bad weather isolates the United States, thousands of families without electricity

Tens of thousands of American families are facing serious problems and power cuts because of the severe weather that has hit most states in recent days.

Concretically, almost half a million families -- over 400,000 -- suffer from power cuts due to storms, floods, snowfalls and strong winds.

California and many countries have declared a state of emergency. Nearly a meter of snow has covered parts of New York, as well as New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
However, extreme phenomena seem to be gradually softening, but the damage remains.

The storm that swept the southeast brought snow as well as winds at up to 40 miles per hour. At the same time, hundreds of schools and businesses were closed.

New York City and several counties in New Jersey have issued an emergency warning.
