CNN News: 毀滅性氣旋“黛比”襲擊澳大利亞

Authorities in northeastern Australia are trying to get a sense of the destruction from Cyclone Debbie. The system made landfall early on Tuesday. It was capable of devastating damage and Debbie had gotten stronger as it approached land. Wind speeds of up to 150 miles per hour, a storm surge, a rise in the sea level of more than 13 feet was possible.

澳大利亞東北部當局正在了解熱帶氣旋黛比的破壞強度。黛比于周二登陸澳大利亞。黛比本身就具有毀滅性的破壞能力，而當其靠近陸地的時候，其破壞性變得更加強大。風速高達每小時150英里，海平面暴漲，海平面的上升高度可能超過13英尺。

Thousands of people in the Australian state of Queensland had been ordered to leave their homes. Police warned that they could not shelter from a storm surge.

澳大利亞昆士蘭州上萬居民已經(jīng)下令撤離。警方警告稱，否則根本沒有辦法躲避風暴。

Queensland`s premier said the cyclone would be nasty, that it was capable of being as severe as the last major storm to hit the area. Cyclone Yasi knocked home off their foundations and destroyed farmland back in 2011.

昆士蘭總理表示，這次的氣旋來的非常的突然，可能是近些年來威力最強的風暴。2011年，熱帶氣旋“雅思”造成慘重影響，家園被破壞，農(nóng)田被摧毀。

Debbie was also expected to have particularly bad timing. Our affiliate 7 News said its landfall would coincide with the high tide, threatening homes anywhere near the coasts. Schools were closed, emergency workers were deployed to the region as the equivalent of a category 3 hurricane approach.

黛比來的時機也不佳。CNN7新聞表示，氣旋黛比可能掀起洶涌海浪，威脅靠近海岸居住的家園。學校被緊急關(guān)閉，救援人員也已經(jīng)部署到風力相當于三級颶風的地區(qū)。
