Part 2/5:
In Michigan, residents encountered catastrophic damage as entire root systems were uprooted, leading to fallen trees. The severe conditions included thick ice and whiteout circumstances that resulted in snarled traffic across the area. In a particularly harrowing incident in Boston, firefighters found themselves nearly caught between their vehicle and an out-of-control truck that flipped across the road, illustrating the perilous conditions faced by those responding to emergencies.
