    1) You've got the right info in the right order (Yeay!), but you need to spice it up a bit. Instead of saying the quake "took place" (very bland), say something like: An earthquake with a magnitude of 2.2 shook the Santa Clara County foothills near Alum Rock Falls Road .... (Either "a.m." or "this morning" -- not both.)

    2) Good job! Just get rid of that first comma.

    9/10

    BTW, you missed the Leads 2 assignment that was also due last Saturday. Just post it.
