Good evening everyone. This is Chuck Sandy with the Channel four evening news. We have lots to report tonight.
First of all, in Canada, there is a terrible storm happening right now. There are heavy winds with zero visibility. The roads are very dangerous and there is a driving warning in effect. There is ice on the roads and as a result they are very slippery. Traffic conditions are terrible, and the highways are all backed up due to accidents.
People are panicking as many parts of Northern Canada are without power tonight. There is currently no estimate when it will be restored.
Next, let’s look at the other side of the world in Shanghai China. There was a major earthquake last night. It was a 7.5-magnitude quake. There have been no casualties reported, however there are several people suffered serious injuries. There is more help on the way as I speak. More on these stories and lots more later.
This is Chuck Sandy reporting live from channel four news.
