At least 30 people have died as a result of the winter storm that hit North America – and the death toll is feared to rise. The city of Buffalo in the state of New York is worst affected.
– We are at war with Mother Nature, and she has attacked with her entire arsenal. “This will go down in history as the most devastating storm in Buffalo’s long history of fighting countless battles and riding out many storms,” said Governor Kathy Hochul.
