SAMPLE Joe Perry 9/12/07     Current Event #1 Wild Weather in the Midwest CBS Morning News, August 24, 2007 The Midwest is experiencing a great deal of wicked weather due to two storm systems colliding. Chicago, IL received more than two inches. Many trees were knocked down affecting traffic lights and electricity. Winds were more than 70 mph. This is thought to be one of the worst storms. It is estimated that the damage from the storms is in the tens of millions. Firefighters used boats to rescue people. I would not like to have to experience something like this. Water does so much damage to possessions that often can not be replaced, as well as cost a great deal of money. I hope that people will be able to find the help that they need to get through this very difficult time. I hope that people on other parts of the country will help aid those in the Midwest who have experienced so much this summer.
