Cleveland is
having a serious problem with water supply,

As is Detroit now.

Air Canada has cancelled all flights,

The main reason for closing the airports is apparently the lack of power
for the X-ray and security machines. Air Traffic Control is working
fine, on emergency power.

and Detroit is going to take all weekend to have power
restored, apparently.

And people are now running out of petrol, and abandoning their cars.
