We're going to take you through the tornado's path from beginning to end.

我們將帶你看看從開始到結束龍卷風的路徑。

If you look down here, you're going to see a brown line,

如果注意到這里,你會看到一條棕色的線,

starts with this debris field, it starts going in this direction.

始于這片廢墟區(qū)域,開始沿這個方向移動。

That is actually the tornado's trail, and as you see, it's going to get much more dramatic as we get near populated area.

這實際上是龍卷風的軌跡,正如你所見,當我們靠近人口稠密區(qū)域，變得更激烈。

You literally can trace with your finger a line where the tornado wind, the path is completelyobvious.

你隨便用手指就可以追到龍卷風的一條線, 路徑完全顯而易見。

It's about a block and a half line, and you notice it just by seeing everything that's destroyed.

Right now we're flying at 2500 feet above the ground,

Look at the trees.

Cars are just littered along the trail.

汽車隨意散落在小路上。

它們從來不是在那里,不是停在這里,它們像玩具一樣被隨意丟棄。

This part of the community really shows you the randomness and intensity of the tornado.

這部分的社區(qū)真的向你展示了龍卷風的隨機性和強度。

Some homes are just completely.

一些房屋已經完全損壞。

And in a block away, they've been spared.

而在一個街區(qū)之外,還有幸免遇難者。

And this part of the debris trail ends at a school where children lost their lives.

而這一部分碎片結束在孩子失去了他們的生命的學校里。

To protect themselves during the storm, some people were in the storm shelters in their homes,

為了在暴風雨中保護自己,一些人進入了自家的風暴避難所,

this Youtube video shows what it looked like when one Oklahoma family came out of its shelter.

這段Youtube視頻展示了一個俄克拉何馬州家庭從避難所出來的情景。

The mayor of Moore, Oklahoma, the city that was hit the worst by this tornado says he is going to push for a new law.

俄克拉何馬州摩爾的市長表示這座城市遭受龍卷風打擊最為嚴重，并且他表示要推動一項新法律。

It would require that any new home has to be built with either storm shelter or a safe room.

它將要求任何新的家庭, 建造風暴掩體或者安全房間。

The safe room was all that was left standing when the tornado hit this family's home in Alabama in 2011.

安全房間就是在2011年在阿拉巴馬州龍卷風襲擊這個家庭后僅存的房屋。

The house was destroyed,

房子被摧毀,

but the family stayed inside their room.

但是這個家庭呆在他們的房間內。

These special rooms and shelters aren't luxurious ,

這些特殊的房間及庇護所并不豪華,

they have one purpose to keep people alive and Gary Tuchman shows us how.

它們唯一一個目的就是讓人活下來。而加里·塔克曼將為我們展示如何做到這一點。

The people who lived in this house that was destroyed, survived.

這個人住的這所房子被毀,但唯獨人幸存下來。

They survived because they left well in advance.

他們幸存下來是因為他們提前離開。

But if they didn't leave well in advance, they would have survived also because they had this heavy metal storm shelter.

但是如果他們沒有提前離開,他們也將因這沉重的金屬風暴掩體而存活下來也。

I want to show you how it works.

我會為你展示它是如何工作的。

You open the door, and you take a look inside.

你打開門,看看里面。

And you see it's very cramped inside, there's not much room, but plenty of room to survive.

而你看到里面非常狹小,沒有太多的空間,但有足夠的生存空間。

Walk down the steps with your family, you could probably fit seven or eight people and fit important things in here:

與你的家人走下臺階,你可以容納7至8人, 在這里要帶的重要的物品就是:

clothing, pictures, valuables, you come in and then you just shut the door.

衣服、照片、貴重品,進來后關上門就行。
