  1. You're on the right track, but this sounds more like a headline than a sentence. Make it past tense ("struck") -- use present tense for broadcast news (and some features).

    Revised: An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 2.2 shook the foothills off Alum Rock Falls Road (be sure to get the name right!) early Tuesday morning ....

    4/5
