An enormous storm system that dumped snow and sleet on the U.S. midsection and unleashed damaging tornadoes around the Deep South has been blamed for at least six deaths and several injuries, and has begun punching its way northeast, slowing holiday travel.

Post-Christmas travellers braced for a second day of flight delays and cancellations, a day after rare winter twisters damaged numerous homes in Louisiana and Alabama. The vast storm system stretching across numerous states has been linked to three deaths, though no one was killed outright in the tornadoes. The storms also left more than 100,000 without power for a time, darkening Christmas celebrations.
Drenching rainstorms rumbled across Georgia early Wednesday without causing any apparent damages. But Georgia Power officials said thousands lost power in the state as the storm system moved on toward the Carolinas, taking aim at the heavily populated Eastern seaboard.
