死亡飓風席捲六大州


至少有三十個巨大之龍捲颶風上週五晚間横掃美國中西部六大州 其中包括肯塔吉阿肯色 伊利諾 密蘇里 密西西比及田纳西


截至目前為止至少有八十多人喪生 其中肯塔吉就有七十人 這㘯颶風夷平了一些郷政及民宅 現場一片狼藉慘不忍睹 至少二十五萬戶人家仍在停電 肯塔吉公安部門表示 這是我們最黑暗的一天


在肯塔吉梅菲市的一家蠟蠋工廠被龍捲風全部吹垮 生還者說大風來得太快 顷刻之間房子蹋下來把我們壓住 這是死亡最重的地區


美國联邦緊急救災總署署長克里斯瓦表示 上週末發生时速二百英里的龍捲風 因大自然氣候 可能成為今後災難的常態 令人十分担心


拜登總統已經下令盡一切可能向災區進行援助 並將在近期親訪災區


我們對於傷亡的災民表示由衷的哀悼 對於全球氣候之变化近年來造成之災情 也感到十分無奈 世界各國始終無法共同面對尤其是如大國印度就持非常保守之態度 試想 別人都已經全面進入工業化而落後國家豈能全盤配合 阻止了國家之建設


Tornadoes Tear Through Six States


A series of tornadoes ripped through several states in the Midwest and Southern states on late Friday and over 100 people are feared dead.


In Kentucky alone, the death toll is over 80. This made it the deadliest tornado event in the state’s history. In Arkansas, officials have reported two deaths. Tennessee has confirmed four, Illinois has reported six and Missouri two.


Tornadoes accompanied by strong winds collapsed an occupied candle factory in Kentucky and an Amazon warehouse was struck in Illinois killing more than 100 people in a six-state area.


According to FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, the severe storms are the “new normal” in an era of climate change. 


Criswell said, “The effects we are seeing of climate change are the crisis of our generation. We are working with communities to help reduce the impact that we are seeing from these severe weather events.”


This destruction is unlike anything ever seen before and the rescue and recovery effort will come with many challenges.


President Biden is closely monitoring the situation and told the Kentucky governor that the federal government will do everything it can to possibly help. When the circumstances allow, the President will travel to the region.


Our condolences go out to those people who have lost their family members and loved ones. We also want to emphasize the importance of dealing with the global climate change. This is a major factor that will affect our future. We urge all the world leaders to face this critical issue. Otherwise, these tragedies will continue around the world.
