    Severe weather across the United States has killed at least five people and caused rivers to rise to dangerous levels as more winter storms move in.

    Hundreds of thousands of customers were without power across the United States on Wednesday, with New York and Pennsylvania hardest hit.

    While the rain has stopped in the north-east for now, it could still cause rivers to burst their banks in the next couple of days.

    The Raritan River crested Wednesday in Piscataway, New Jersey, and local police urged residents to move cars near the river to higher ground.

    In Norwich, Connecticut, dam conditions prompted officials to issue a mandatory evacuation order Wednesday for areas along the Yantic River.

    Norwich Public Utilities warned that “residents evacuated from Yantic have been notified that they may be displaced from their residences and businesses for several days.”

    The Pawtuxet River in Rhode Island and the Pompton and Passaic Rivers in New Jersey are also possible in major flood phases.

    On Tuesday, storms killed at least five people across the United States

    The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said that a person was killed in Wisconsin in a car accident due to poor road conditions amid falling snow.

    Another car crash killed a 35-year-old woman in Weber Township, Michigan, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office.

    And in Cottonwood, Alabama, an 81-year-old woman was killed when a possible tornado destroyed her mobile home multiple times while she was inside, according to the Houston County medical examiner and coroner.

    Another person was killed when severe weather damaged several residences at a mobile home park in Claremont, North Carolina, and the National Weather Service is assessing where a tornado could occur in the area, according to Catawba County government.

    In Jonesboro, Georgia, a tree fell on the windshield of a car, killing the driver, according to the Clayton County Police Department.

    This week, at least 23 tornadoes were reported in Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina.

    The same system brought up to 15 inches of snow to the Midwest and winds of up to 65 mph to the Northeast.

    More than 3 inches of heavy rain fell on top of melting snow in the northeast, paralyzing travel as floodwaters seeped onto roads.

    And now another winter storm is heading from the West Coast to the East Coast.

    The storm has already dumped up to 30 inches of snow and brought rare blizzard conditions to the Pacific Northwest over the past 24 hours.

    Heavy snow will fall on Wednesday in the Sierra Nevada mountain range and will move across the Rocky Mountains on Thursday.

    This storm will bring another severe weather outbreak to the south Thursday night into Friday. Damaging winds, large hail, flash flooding and tornadoes are possible from Texas to Florida to the Carolinas.

    In the north, snow will extend from Iowa to Missouri to Michigan to Chicago on Friday and Saturday, with more than a foot of snow possible in some locations.

    The storm will reach the northeast late Friday night into Saturday morning. More heavy rains, stormy winds and flooding are expected.
