The National Weather Service has issued dire warnings, suggesting that some areas may remain uninhabitable for weeks or even months due to the severity of the destruction. Schools, businesses, and airports across the region have shut down, and resources are being prepositioned to aid recovery efforts once the storm passes. Unfortunately, the storm has already claimed lives and caused widespread power outages across the state.

Experts are emphasizing that anyone who has not yet evacuated should take shelter immediately, as rescue efforts will become impossible once the storm’s winds reach dangerous levels​
