颶風(fēng)的余波襲擊了德克薩斯州

South Texas is braced for flooding after Hurricane Hanna began battering the state. The first hurricane of the season made landfall twice Saturday as a Category 1 storm.

在颶風(fēng)漢娜開(kāi)始襲擊德克薩斯州南部后，該州已經(jīng)做好了洪水的準(zhǔn)備。該季節(jié)的第一場(chǎng)颶風(fēng)在周六兩次登陸，為一級(jí)風(fēng)暴。

The first landfall happened at around 5 p.m. about 15 miles north of Port Mansfield, which is about 130 miles south of Corpus Christi, according to the National Weather service. The second landfall took place nearby in eastern Kenedy County. The storm arrived with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph.

據(jù)美國(guó)國(guó)家氣象局稱，第一次登陸發(fā)生在下午5點(diǎn)左右，地點(diǎn)在曼斯菲爾德港以北15英里處，科珀斯克里斯蒂以南約130英里。第二次登陸發(fā)生在東部的肯尼迪縣附近。風(fēng)暴的最大持續(xù)風(fēng)速達(dá)到每小時(shí)90英里。

Forecasters early Sunday downgraded Hanna to a tropical storm. But Chris Birchfield, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Brownsville, told The Associated Press that residents needed to remain alert. Hanna's winds weakened, but the storm's real threat remained heavy rainfall.

氣象預(yù)報(bào)員周日早上將漢娜降級(jí)為熱帶風(fēng)暴。但是布朗斯維爾國(guó)家氣象局的氣象學(xué)家克里斯·伯奇菲爾德告訴美聯(lián)社，居民們需要保持警惕。漢娜的風(fēng)力減弱了，但風(fēng)暴真正的威脅仍然是強(qiáng)降雨。

"We're not even close to over at this point," Birchfield added. "We're still expecting catastrophic flooding."

“我們還沒(méi)有接近結(jié)束，”伯奇菲爾德補(bǔ)充道我們?nèi)灶A(yù)計(jì)會(huì)發(fā)生災(zāi)難性的洪水。”

The storm is expected to bring heavy rainfall to Texas' southern coast with the potential for "life-threatening flash flooding," according to the National Weather Service.

據(jù)美國(guó)國(guó)家氣象局說(shuō)，預(yù)計(jì)這場(chǎng)風(fēng)暴將給德克薩斯州南部海岸帶來(lái)強(qiáng)降雨，并可能引發(fā)“威脅生命的山洪暴發(fā)”。

The center warned of storm surges as high as 5 feet along Texas' southern coast and said the upper coasts of Texas and Louisiana could expect 3-5 inches of rain.

該中心警告說(shuō)，德克薩斯州南部海岸的風(fēng)暴潮高達(dá)5英尺，德克薩斯州和路易斯安那州的上海岸預(yù)計(jì)將有3-5英寸的降雨。

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said earlier in the week that the Texas Division of Emergency Management was preparing teams to help communities affected by the storm. He urged residents in the region to avoid roads that flood and listen to local warnings.

德克薩斯州州長(zhǎng)格雷格·阿博特本周早些時(shí)候說(shuō)，德克薩斯州應(yīng)急管理署正在準(zhǔn)備團(tuán)隊(duì)，幫助受風(fēng)暴影響的社區(qū)。他敦促該地區(qū)的居民避開(kāi)洪水泛濫的道路，并聽(tīng)取當(dāng)?shù)氐木妗?/p>

On Saturday, prior to the storm making landfall, Abbott issued a disaster declaration and said he had requested an emergency declaration from President Trump and FEMA.

周六，在風(fēng)暴登陸之前，阿博特發(fā)布了災(zāi)難聲明，并表示他已要求特朗普總統(tǒng)和聯(lián)邦應(yīng)急管理局發(fā)布緊急聲明。

"As Hurricane Hanna approaches, the Lone Star State is taking swift action to support the communities in the path of the storm," Abbott said. "We are closely monitoring the situation and working with local officials to help ensure they have the resources they need to keep Texans safe. I urge Texans in the region to take all necessary precautions and follow the guidance of local officials. I ask our fellow Texans to keep these communities in their prayers as they brace for this storm."

阿博特說(shuō):“隨著颶風(fēng)漢娜的逼近，孤星州正在迅速采取行動(dòng)，支持風(fēng)暴所到之處的社區(qū)。”他說(shuō):“我們正在密切關(guān)注形勢(shì)，并與當(dāng)?shù)毓賳T合作，確保他們有必要的資源來(lái)保障德州人的安全。我敦促該地區(qū)的德州人采取一切必要的預(yù)防措施，并聽(tīng)從當(dāng)?shù)毓賳T的指導(dǎo)。我請(qǐng)求德克薩斯州的同胞們?yōu)檫@些社區(qū)祈禱，為風(fēng)暴做好準(zhǔn)備。”

As Hurricane Hanna approaches, Corpus Christi Mayor Joe McComb said he felt certain that the region is prepared to handle both the storm and the pandemic.

隨著颶風(fēng)漢娜逼近，科珀斯克里斯蒂市市長(zhǎng)喬·麥庫(kù)姆說(shuō)，他確信該地區(qū)已經(jīng)做好準(zhǔn)備應(yīng)對(duì)颶風(fēng)和大流行病。
