The storm reached category-four status before reaching the northeastern coastline about 11 a.m. local time.

This was the first time since 2007 that more than 40,000 people died in motor vehicle crashes in a single year, according to the National Safety Council.

New seismicity maps released by the U.S. Geological Survey show that a swath of Oklahoma and Southern Kansas are likely to experience high-magnitude earthquakes this year.
