So far, 15 states have been affected by a massive winter storm that killed at least five people.

From Texas to Kansas, slick roads became disaster zones, sending cars spinning out of control.

All the ice caused thousands of power outages, with electric crews scrambling to repair the damage. Power lines also caught fire as ice melted.

In Oklahoma, ice-covered trees collapsed onto cars. 

In some areas, the deadly storm system even brought tornadoes.
