美國官員將卡崔娜颶風稱為美國有史以來威力最強的颶風之一,該官員表示卡崔娜颶風(Hurricane Katrina)昨天早上輕掃紐奧良市,雖然沒有造成大家所懼怕發生的嚴重的世界末日景象,但也造成了路易斯安那州及密西西比州至少55人死亡。暴風在最後一刻轉向東行掠過紐奧良市,卻重創密西西比州的海灣港(Gulfport)及拜洛希城(Biloxi)。
Katrina Claims 55 Lives, Floods New Orleans
Hurricane Katrina sideswiped New Orleans early Monday without creating the worst case doomsday scenario many had feared, but it claimed at least 55 lives in Louisiana and Mississippi, said officials, who called it one of the worst storms ever to hit the United States. Officials reported 50 lives lost in Harrison County, Mississippi, where Gulfport and Biloxi are located.
