1) What's news is that the couple won a big award ... so start there, then explain why they got it.
ReplyDelete2) First sentence works, but cut "It is believed ...." Just say it's the first of a series of storms ... or incorporate that info into your first sentence.
3) Good start, but combine your two sentences. Get rid of the "we will update you" part -- that would work for broadcast, but not for print/online.
