Thousands Homeless
In Floods as Storms
Sweep Wide Areas

the South, Midwest and East
today.
The mid-February snow and ice
storms were blamed for at least

mounted into millions OF dollars.
Thousands were made homeless
as rising rivers spilled into low
land homes in Louisiana and Mis-
souri,. Other thousands were
threatened with evacuation in

across the Middle West and East

left a blanket of snow throughout
the Northern States and an abun-
dant rainfall from the Gulf to
the North Atlantic States.
Property Damage Heavy.
1t also left a. heavy toll in
property damage and ice-coated
highways. Many communities re-
mained isolated from outside tel

telephone and power lines snapped
under the weight of the heavy
snow and sleet. The snow carpet
