Winter storm Stella took the news by storm! The storm was rated as a powerful category 3, with its wind speed that was approximately 50 miles per hour. The intensity of Stella caused some Northeastern states to issue a blizzard warning. It traveled all around the Northeastern side of the United States on March 13th. About 42 inches of snow were dropped in West Winfield, Virginia. While some areas of New York reportedly received up to two feet of snow.
It was a pretty big story, even students on the west coast heard of the winter storm. Victoria Castrejon, 11, is an informed student who learned about it on the news. She heard that it caused quite some damage to the Northeastern side of the United States. Victoria said, “I think that lately a lot of disasters have been occurring. It's like a domino effect and it'll continue.” She continued to say, “I think families, houses, and resources will be affected… [and] that if one area of the U.S has a [setback], the whole country will be affected.” Disasters can destroy families, resources, and property. Because of the large amount of snow, cars slid and crashed, and repair shops saw a big wave of customers. Any damage caused has been repair or is being worked on. The Northeastern side is nearly back to normal.
