【大紀元2024年07月09日訊】(大紀元記者張雨霏編譯報導)週一(7月8日)早上,颶風「貝里爾」(Beryl,又譯貝麗爾)攜帶強風和暴雨侵襲了美國德克薩斯州東南部,截至目前造成至少3人遇難,近300萬戶居民與商家停電,逾千航班取消。這場異常早來的強大颶風未來幾天將持續朝美國內陸行進。
綜合媒體報導,週一早些時候,貝里爾在德克薩斯州沿海城鎮馬塔戈爾達(Matagorda)附近咆哮登陸,最大持續風速為每小時80英里(約129公里),在向內陸移動的過程中,雖然強度持續減弱,但仍給沿海地區帶來了危險的風暴潮、強風和暴雨。該州一度宣布121個縣進入緊急狀態,多個城市發布了山洪警報。
在貝里爾颶風肆虐下,德州許多城鎮都出現災情,包括房屋、樹木和電線杆倒塌,洪水導致道路中斷,高速公路車道無法通行等。此外,該地區目前仍有超過270萬戶居民與商家停電,電力公司已加派數千員工趕赴災區搶修,但預計還需幾天時間才能完全恢復供電。
休斯頓市長約翰‧惠特米爾(John Whitmire)週一表示,在颶風侵襲期間,當地至少有3人喪生,其中包括休斯頓警局一名文職人員。
上週,颶風貝里爾橫掃加勒比海沿岸地區,掀翻屋頂,颳倒樹木,在牙買加、格林納達、聖文森特和格林納丁斯以及委內瑞拉造成至少11人死亡。貝里爾在穿過加勒比海島嶼後強度減弱,但在德州登陸前仍為一級颶風。
據美國國家颶風中心預測,貝里爾將在週一晚間或週二(9日)早些時候減弱為熱帶性低氣壓,並由德州東部持續往東北方前進,預計將為阿肯色州、密蘇裡州及俄克拉荷馬州等地帶來強降雨。
