Six dead as severe winter storms and wildfires wreak havoc across US

Fires broke out in southern Appalachia this week as a storm from California took casualties in Mississippi and Nebraska

Extreme weather conditions continue to threaten parts of the southern plains and midwest on Thursday, after six people were killed earlier this week in a powerful storm that wreaked havoc across multiple states.

As damage assessments continued in the south, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) warned of critical fire conditions for parts of south-east New Mexico and western Texas on Thursday.
