News Story Analysis 9 - Disaster Story

Hundreds of people have been told to leave there homes in St Asaph in the early hours of the morning. The environment agency have issued two of the highest severe flood warnings on the Elwy.




Immediacy: The story was broken today at 13:56 so it is a breaking story.
Amplitude: Yes it involves hundreds of people
Suprise: I would say that it was a surprise of unexpected event because we don't expect the flood to happen and then that people have to be evacuated from there homes because the flood was so bad and caused so much damage that they couldn't stay there anymore.
Personilisation: The story involves large numbers of people that had to be evacuated so its important that other people know about it.
Negativity : It is definitely bad, awful news because it is a massive flood and the water has entered about 1000 homes.
