A question about the [from...to...] pattern:
1. The east coast area stretching from Boston down to Baltimore is prone to storms.
2. The east coast area from Boston down to Baltimore is prone to storms.
3. The east coast area stretching down to Baltimore is prone to storms.
4. The east coast area down to Baltimore is prone to storms.
Is sentence 2, obtained from sentence 1 by deleting "stretching", okay?
Is sentence 4, obtained from sentence 3 by deleting "stretching", okay?
