Forecasters are warning the damage, especially in areas hit by heavy snowfall and ice, could rival a hurricane. A total of 12 states have declared states of emergency ahead of the winter storm. Storm chaser Kyle Cutten told Sky News this will be a “generational storm” and hopes the fatality count is low. “It’s going to cripple one third of the nation,” he says. “It’s something that becomes very life threatening when you have no heat and no service.” #storm #weather #skynews SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
