Hurricane Irma Batters Caribbean Islands
飓风“厄玛”袭击加勒比群岛
A Category 5 hurricane battered the Caribbean islands this week before making landfall in the US and causing massive flooding and power outages throughout Florida. Some of the hardest hit islands were Anguilla, Barbuda, and St. Martin. Hurricane Irma also made landfall in Cuba, which downgraded its strength slightly before the storm went through the Florida Keys. All of the islands that were hit are in desperate need of aid including clean drinking water. International relief from the UK, France, and the Netherlands has finally begun to arrive.
本周,五级飓风袭击了加勒比群岛,随后在美国登陆,导致佛罗里达州出现大规模洪涝和断电。受害最严重的有安圭拉岛、巴布达岛和圣马丁岛。飓风“厄玛”还在古巴登陆,风力稍稍有所减弱,随后便席卷佛罗里达群岛。所有受灾岛屿都亟需援助,包括干净的饮用水。来自英国、法国和荷兰的国际救援也逐渐抵达。
