In the US, there is a “war with mother nature.” People often use this phrase to describe the cruel weather conditions brought on by winter storm Elliott. People are passing away in hallucinatory conditions in the meantime.

Winter Storm Elliott has already claimed the lives of 47 people in the US, and the death toll is still rising. Numerous issues are being brought on by the wind gusts and bitter weather, particularly in the region surrounding Buffalo, New York, a metropolis of 270,000 people. It is the greatest storm the area has seen in at least 50 years, according to local authorities.

More than 200 million Americans are currently impacted by Elliott, according to American media. For instance, it results in power outages, which make it nearly hard for millions of people to prepare food and keep their homes warm. Many people can no longer leave their homes because of the terrible roads. Furthermore, they are not permitted to. The local administration has imposed a prohibition because it is too risky. It is also a challenge for the emergency services to reach everyone in case someone is in need. Many people who need assistance are left without it and perish in tragic circumstances.

Governor Kathy Hochul agrees with Mayor Byron Brown that this storm is the worst and most deadly Buffalo has ever seen. She claims that Buffalo is a battle zone. It’s alarming to see those vehicles parked on the side of the road. She is referring to the several cars where individuals have frozen to death, which, according to the emergency services, is a significant number. Hochul declares, “We are at war with Mother Nature.” And since Thursday, she has been hammering us with all of her might.

With at least 27 fatalities, Erie County in western New York State has also been extremely heavily struck. Tragic tales are now emerging from practically every corner of the state. A citizen of Maine claims, “We are progressively seeing light at the end of the tunnel.” We all understand, however, that it is far from done. We have not yet arrived. The inclement weather will last at least one more day, according to the weather services.
