The winter storm Jonas has hit the American East coast over the weekend of Friday, Jan. 22 through Monday, Jan. 25. This intense storm has caused havoc as businesses have closed, buildings caved in and transportation shut down.

Utility companies in New Jersey are reporting that about 20,500 customers are without electricity only after one day of the intense storm. Atlantic City Electric says about 17,000 customers are without power.

The blizzard has poured 26.8 inches of snow on New York City, almost surpassing the highest amount on record. Baltimore had its largest snowfall on record. Even though the storms been brutal, it wasn’t that bad in some places such as Tennessee all the way north to Wisconsin where only one to three inches of snow fell.

With so much snow comes the possibility of an accident occurring. There have been at least 27 storm-related deaths as of Sunday Jan. 24, 2016, most have been traffic related: five in New York, four in Virginia, two in South Carolina, three in North Carolina, two in New Jersey, one in Kentucky, one in Delaware, one in Alabama, one in Pennsylvania, one in Georgia, and one in Maryland.

Mass amount of snow can make traveling difficult, unsafe and sometimes nonexistent. Airlines have cancelled more than 11,000 flights for Friday Jan. 22, through Monday Jan. 25. Cancellations have occurred in major and minor East coast cities but even Dallas was affected. Even though Dallas received zero inches of snow, many flights were still cancelled because landing could be dangerous if it’s destination was affected by Jonas.

Snow wasn’t the only problem with this snow storm. On Saturday, Jonas caused record-setting tides higher than during Superstorm Sandy, causing major flooding in New Jersey and Delaware. At the Cape May Harbor, New Jersey, a new record high tide was registered after Jonas created a storm surge, which caused flooding. The old record, which occurred during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, was 8.67 feet. The high tide registered at 9.26 feet on Saturday, Jan. 23.

Many schools and businesses were closed Monday, Jan. 25 due to dangerous driving and walking conditions.The U.S. Office of Personnel Management said federal government offices in the Washington area would be shut down on Monday, along with local government offices in the District of Columbia.

Even though the storm doesn’t have an official name, most have dubbed it Jonas. This started when the Weather channel unofficially named it Jonas. The Weather channel has been naming storms since 2012, which many have criticized saying it’s just for attention. Either way, the hashtags #Jonas and #winter storm have been all over the internet, encouraging others to use the name Jonas as well.

The name was chosen by students by the Latin club at Bozeman High School in Bozeman, Mont. The high school has often worked with the Weather channel in the past to chose a name for storms. The other options as suggested by the students include Kayla, Regis and Yolo.

Almost all the destruction is over now as snow has stopped falling and people can start living their normal lives now.
