A storm system marched eastward Friday, threatening heavy snow in the Midwest and Northeast after spawning likely tornadoes in Texas and Louisiana that damaged homes, businesses, a university campus and left thousands without power.

The storms will threaten the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys with tornadoes as they move toward New England, the Storm Prediction Center said. A swath of heavy snow is expected in the Upper Midwest through New England on Friday and Saturday, with sleet and freezing rain possible south of the heaviest snow.

No deaths or injuries have been reported from the storms that struck Texas and Louisiana on Thursday night after slamming California earlier in the week with as much as 7 feet (2.1 meters) of snow.

The National Weather Service in Fort Worth planned Friday to survey damage near Pickton, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) east of Dallas, where it said a confirmed tornado struck.

1. Why hasn't Governor Abbott done anything about the storm? Seems he is slacking.

6. Lots of trees down around us. Our road was blocked for a while today

How'd you fair Lars? Heard rumor that someone was hurt pretty bad, possibly killed down on Indian Lake Peninsula here in Hville

7. We're fine!

Heck of a storm. I really hope that was just a rumor, but it wouldn’t surprise me the way the wind blew. It was fierce, lots of gusts, and just didn’t let up for a long time.
Made me realize I don’t think I’d do well in a hurricane.

9. It certainly felt like hurricane weather yesterday

It was wild to have such nasty winds AFTER the storm came through. We went to dinner in Nashville last night and from Rivergate to Indian Lake looked like a blackout. Sounds like most of the electricity is back up in our area today.

Getting around this morning to find trees and power line down in neighborhood.

3. Where's the religious whack jobs?

Why aren’t they claiming gays are to blame?

Where the bleep is my sarcasm button?

4. Caddo Parish Suffered.

The usual tornadic travel paths have shifted eastward through the decades within our Parish.

The climate change in our area is quite profound.

I'm 60.
