Weather-related accidents reportedly killed three people in Missouri, two people in Kansas and a truck driver in Oklahoma. Thousands of people across the region were without electricity after ice encumbered power lines. In Saint James, Missouri, the ice made for a particularly cinematic moment when Abrahm Beezley filmed himself jumping on the trampoline on his family farm. The agency issued an ice storm warning for the area and urged drivers to travel cautiously along the ice-slicked roads.

A video from south-central Kansas showed power lines rippling with thick icicles.
