The article "2nd winter storm in days blasts central U.S" by Bill Draper and it was published by Associated Press on Yahoo. In this article it talk about how this snow storm caused a lot a damages, problems and even deaths in the midwestern areas. Over than 100, 000 homes and business buildings were out of power and even hospital were closed do to this storm. According to this article the Department of Transportation has issued that tell people to stay in the house and off the roads unless there was an emergency. There was three people died do to the storm; one of the incident happened at the Interstate 70 and the other one was in the house. where the heavy snow cause the roof claps down. This was the 2nd biggest storm in less than a week. According to the scientist over at Pennsylvania State University the reason caused this big storm was there were too much warm moistures in the atmosphere and the cold air coming from the north and when the two combine it will produce heavy snow.
After reading this article I was kind of shacked on how much it snowed in those areas of the states during that week. It was unfortunate for those who lost their powers and for those who got stock on the roads. Also it was sad for those who lost their loved one's in the storm and hope they are okay. I hope for those who are still out there are driving safely and get home in one peace.
