The Nation : Storm Brings Rain, Snow

Heavy rain fell from the mid-Atlantic coast to Florida, forcing evacuations to escape flooding in North Carolina, while the same storm system blanketed the Great Lakes region with more than half a foot of snow. Heavy rains since Saturday have been blamed for at least 13 deaths, nine from traffic accidents. In Mississippi, where the storm brought tornadoes that killed seven people on Saturday, residents and cleanup crews worked to recover belongings and clear wreckage. Nearly 500 families were left homeless, officials said.
