Authorities reported 14 deaths in Texas and Kansas since the slow moving storm began charging through the southern plains on Thursday -- America's Thanksgiving Day.
Officials in Oklahoma said more than 70,000 homes and businesses were without power Sunday, after freezing rain coated large parts of the state and collapsed power lines. Authorities said an additional 10,000 homes were without power in nearby Kansas.
In north Texas and Arkansas, authorities were bracing for more flooding from rain-swollen rivers. Texas authorities placed the state's record year-to-date rainfall total at 142 centimeters.
A separate storm brewed Sunday in the Rocky Mountains and began moving eastward through the Northern Plains toward the Upper Midwest. Forecasters said as much as 30 centimeters of snow could coat the vast region by Wednesday.
