It looks like you've done a great job - I'm still learning too but here are a couple of suggestions ![]()
afectó a la ciudad - affected the city (instead of hit)
Wednesday night - night small 'n', a typo I'm sure
For the Spanish I would have expected 'se' despertaron.
derrumbadas - collapsed (I guess crumbling works too although for that the verb could be desmoronarse)
16 deaths were reported from the storm and many wounded - this is an unusual sentence perhaps you could say: 16 deaths from the storm (or 'due to' the storm) have been reported with many more wounded.
brutal - your translation is perfect but just to mix things up a bit if the same word appears a few times in one text you could use variations, in this case brutal could also be translated as savage or tremendous or maybe even extreme?
para que se restablezca in order to reestablish
en varias zonas afectadas por el temporal se ha restablecido el servicio de electricidad. in a number of areas affected by the storm electricity has been restored
realizado: done is good, or 'carried out'
bomberos y gendarmería firefighters and police
