Typhoon Morakot
http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/08/typhoon_morakot.html
After forming as a tropical depression over the Pacific Ocean about 1,000 km east of the Philippines on August 2nd, Typhoon Morakot built in power and moved quickly west. Over the past several days, the storm has passed over the Philippines, Taiwan and Mainland China, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage due to high winds, flooding and mudslides. Southeast China evacuated nearly 1 million people ahead of the storm, after Morakot broke many records in Taiwan, dumping a total of 2.5 meters (100 inches) of rain on the island. At least 40 people are known to have died so far, but hundreds remain missing - many from one village in Taiwan, reportedly engulfed by a mudslide during the storm.
当8月2号一个热带性低气压在距菲律宾东方1K公里的太平洋上空形成后,强劲的台风莫拉克生成并快速向西移动。在过去几天内,由于台风从菲律宾、台湾和中国大陆上空经过所形成的强风,洪水泛滥和泥石流已经在当地引起数亿美元的损失。中国东南部地区在暴风雨之前疏散了将近一百万人。在台湾,台风莫拉克则打破了多项记录,台湾岛的总降雨量高达2,5米(100英尺)。迄今为止至少已有40人死亡,数百人消失-他们中的大多数来自同一个村庄,据报导该村庄被暴风雨所引起的泥石流卷入和掩埋。 |
