Current Event By: Lauren 5G-2 __ Cold snap in Eastern Europe kills more than 650 __ Link to article: [] Author: ALINA WOLFE MURRAY Date: 2/15/2012 Link to website: []

This event happened in Eastern Europe. Where record breaking blizzards happen and 650 people died. Ten of thousands have been trapped in freezing homes and walls of snow and were unable to drive because of how much snow was on the roads. People also struggled to get emergency food kits. There were around 40 car crashed just east of Prague the day of the snow storm. Residents were worried that the snow would collapse on their houses. Romanian farmers got 15 feet of snow in the week. The farmers were concerned about the sheep, goats, pigs, cows, and horses. One farmer said that he had to dig one pig out of the snow and bring it into his home. People had to live without heat, food, water, and emergency kits. Most deaths happened because of freezing to death. The after effects of the snow storm were People trapped under the snow or in their homes. People vehicles were covered with snow and buried. In Czech Republic 100 cars were damaged on major highway. The thing that I learned about the snowstorm in Eastern Europe is that they are very deadly. So many people can die if they don’t have enough heat, food, water, or emergency kits. I learned that if you’re on the road or highway in a blizzard you can easily get in an accident. I also learned that you should always be prepared if you know that a blizzard is coming. This current event is related to science because this is a blizzard and blizzards are a type of landforms and the things that go into a blizzard is science. I hoped you liked my current event!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a picture of the blizzard!!!!!!!!!
