Week 2 Assignment

Topic sentence: Hurricane Ike is very dangerous hurricane and people in Texas will lose their lives if they dont follow orders to leave their homes.

The way I did this assignment was I read the article twice. Then I came up with my topic sentence. after i looked for words/sentences that gave details in the story.

Words/sentences that give details in the story: -Residents living in single-family homes in some parts of coastal Texas face "certain death" if they do not heed orders to evacuate ahead of Hurricane Ike's arrival
- "If you think you want to ride something out, and people are talking about a 20-foot wall of water coming at you, then you better think again," White said.
- "Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks ... if not longer,"
- "Do not take this storm lightly,"
