4. Summary

• My article is about how hurricane Sandy has  knocked out 25% of cellphone towers in ten different states.It is talking about how people think that Sandy's slow passing  is good but its not. It is going to make things even worse because it is going to take longer to get the power lines back up and the same thing for cellphone towers.

5. Reaction: 

          I agree with the article it is a bad thing that it is moving slowly. If it moves slower and lingers around these states then the repair crews cannot get out in the storm to repair the telephone lines and towers. If it hurry's and moves faster then they can go ahead and get out there and fix these things and restore the cellphone connections and house phone connections. I feel sorry for the people who had to live through this not because of just losing there cellphones but also there houses being flooded and all kinds of different things .This event does not really affect me  because I don't live near the coast and it did not really hit my city.

6. World Impact:

        I do not think this event impacts the entire world that much. It does impact the entire east coast of the United States. It may cause the phone bills of cellphone companies to raise their prices. They may do this because it costs a lot of money to repair these things. Then the raising of phone bills may cause people to drop there current plan and start looking for another company with cheaper prices.
