I think the biggest news story of the year of 2011 was the news of hurricane Irene. I think it is the best news of 2011 because Philadelphia usually doesn’t receive that kind of weather. We are far from the equator that is why everyone was surprise to hear that we were going to get hit by hurricane Irene weather conditions.
In mid August there was a slight earthquake in which most people didn’t even feel. But for the people who did they posted messages about it on all the social networks. The main social networks such as Twitter and Facebook became over loaded. Also cellular networks such T-Mobile towers fell from the shock of the quake. Many people were very upset because they couldn’t call to see if their love ones were alright.
A few days after that news a broadcast was aired and everybody’s final summer plans were ruined. The broadcast was about a hurricane called Irene moving up north. Many people was so afraid of the natural deserter was coming to a city so far from the equator.
The government officials of the states that were predicted to be hit by the effects of the hurricane had emergency broadcasts. The broadcast was a discussion about the plans to prepare for the weather. The officials announced that they would be closing the roads in and out of the states for the citizen’s protection.
So many families had to cancel or make a rain check for their vacation. One of those families was mines, our trip had to take place on September 23 because that was the only open spot for the rest of 2011.
