Midwestern Storms Kill Two, Leave 400,000 Without Power: Joelle Gnikpingo, 2nd period

On Saturday in southeast Michigan, nearly 400,000 people were still without power after the violent storms that ravaged the area Friday evening. There were many blacked-out areas, including Detroit. Many energy companies were struggling to return power to all of their customers. The wind blew at 75 mph, blowing down 2,000 power lines. The storms also hit Chicago, killing actress Molly Glynn when a tree fell on her. It is known to be, "one of the strongest storms to hit southeast Michigan this year."

These natural disasters are becoming more frequent. There will be more casualties and the poverty rate will rise. Whole cities may be destroyed from a tornado or a hurricane. There is no way to prevent Mother Nature from doing what she does, but there should be more shelters or a better evacuation system so innocent lives may be saved. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/midwestern-storms-kill-two-leave-400-000-without-power-n197231

  1. I agree with the fact that there should be more shelters as well as better planning for when these storms occur, so that the least amount of damage could happen.

  2. I agree with both of you guys, more shelters and better planning. There needs to be something that the government must do to keep everyone safe during horrible storms like this!
