Hurricane Sandy marched slowly inland, leaving millions without power or mass transit, with huge swatches of the nation's largest city unusually vacant and dark. New York was among the hardest hit, with its financial heart in Lower Manhattan shuttered for a second day and seawater cascading into the still-gaping construction pit at the World Trade Center (Foto: John Minchillo/AP/dapd)

飓风过后纽约市仍处于瘫痪中

经历了“桑迪”飓风猛烈袭击的大都市纽约，南北两端的恢复情况迥然不同。在纽约城北部，人们已经开始正常上班。城市南部，也就是纽约市中心，仍然是一片黑暗。停电还在继续，这让居民们非常难熬。

The US East Coast was to start picking up the pieces 31 October 2012 after superstorm Sandy left at least 33 people dead and damage estimated in the billions of dollars. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the largest US city was going "back to business" and bus routes would be fully reopened Wednesday. The subway would probably take another four or five days to resume operations, he said late Tuesday. Some flights were to also resume. President Barack Obama planned to visit New Jersey Wednesday with the state's governor, Chris Christie, for a first-hand impression of the damage.

Hurricane Sandy is seen on the east coast of the United States in this NASA handout satellite image taken at 0715 GMT, October 29, 2012. Hurricane Sandy, a mammoth storm menacing the East Coast, took aim at the most densely populated U.S. region on Monday, forcing hundreds of thousands to seek higher ground, halting public transport and closing schools, businesses and government departments. About 50 million people from the Mid-Atlantic to Canada were in the path of the storm, which forecasters say could be the largest ever to hit the U.S. mainland. It is expected to topple trees, damage buildings and cause widespread power outages over the next few days.

A man walks near a damaged power line in Santiago de Cuba October 25, 2012. Hurricane Sandy grew into a major potential threat to the east coast of the United States on Thursday after hammering Cuba's second-largest city and taking aim at the Bahamas, U.S. forecasters said. Strengthening rapidly after tearing into Jamaica and crossing the warm Caribbean Sea, Sandy hit southeastern Cuba early on Thursday with 105-mph winds that cut power and blew over trees across the city of Santiago de Cuba. Reports from the city of 500,000 people, about 470 miles (750 km) southeast of Havana spoke of significant damage, with many homes damaged or destroyed. According to one Cuban radio report, at least one person was killed, bringing the death toll to at least three after fatalities in Jamaica and Haiti.

Ein Tornado (spanisch tornar „umkehren, wenden, drehen“, Partizip tornado; tornear „wirbeln, drechseln“), auch Großtrombe, Wind- oder Wasserhose, in den USA umgangssprachlich auch Twister genannt, ist ein kleinräumiger Luftwirbel in der Erdatmosphäre, der eine annähernd senkrechte Drehachse aufweist und im Zusammenhang mit konvektiver Bewölkung (Cumulus und Cumulonimbus) steht, was dessen Unterschied zu Kleintromben (Staubteufeln) ausmacht. Der Wirbel erstreckt sich hierbei durchgehend vom Boden bis zur Wolkenuntergrenze. Diese Definition geht auf Alfred Wegener (1917) zurück und ist in dieser Form heute noch allgemein anerkannt.

热带风暴"艾琳"横扫美国东海岸，造成巨大经济损失以及至少18人死亡。不过，总体来说，"艾琳"带来的损失远低于预期。媒体之前的报道难道过于夸张了吗？

飓风“艾琳”减弱降为热带风暴

飓风"艾琳"来了，纽约街道空了

美国东海岸数十年来遭遇的最强飓风"艾琳"28日抵达纽约。纽约政府强令30多万居民转移。金融大都纽约几乎成了空城。美国东海岸共有数百万居民疏散。"艾琳"已经夺走了多人的生命。

Hurricane Irene opened its assault on the Eastern Seaboard on Saturday by lashing the North Carolina coast with wind as strong as 115 mph and pounding shoreline homes with waves. Farther north, authorities readied a massive shutdown of trains and airports, with 2 million people ordered out of the way. (Foto:NOAA/AP/dapd)

2005年8月29日，飓风卡特琳娜进入美国新奥尔良市。这个座落在墨西哥湾畔的南国都市80％的面积被大水淹没，洪水冲破了堤坝，淹没了运河与管道，世界末日般的暴雨同时肆虐。在这座城市的居民被转移出去之前，已有近1500人死亡。很多区几月后仍无法居住。今天，4年之后，这座爵士乐之都仍然只有局部地从灾难中恢复了过来。

四年前的8月29日，飓风卡特琳娜横扫那时的新奥尔良城。这场飓风成了美国灾难应对政策的一场灾难。直到今天，那里还有许多居民仍觉得自己孤立无援。许多名人试着以捐款来提供帮助，然而只有一个人规划着独特的、可持续的项目。好莱坞演员布拉德·皮特跟3名德国建筑设计师合作，为那里最贫穷的人盖房子，并且要达到最低的造价和能源价格，同时安全，有利于健康，符合可持续的标准。

海滩监测：别被飓风抢走了沙子

强烈飓风威胁着全球的海岸。例如不久前席卷中美州的卡特琳纳和维尔玛号飓风，不仅给人类造成严重损失，而且严重破坏了自然生态。尤其是飓风导致的海浪卷走了大量沙子，使一些得天独厚的度假海滩逐渐缩小。欧盟研究人员如今研制了一个新的电脑程序，可以有效地调查海滩被吞噬情况。

丽塔迫使美国重新考虑能源政策

飓风丽塔不断接近美国墨西哥湾海岸，导致数百万人被迫离开自己的家园。德克萨斯州的道路一度出现堵塞现象。自然灾害对美国的经济发展造成了严重的威胁。因为美国东南部沿海地区有多家石化工厂。

德国技术救援人员前往新奥尔良

美国飓风“卡特琳娜”席卷美国东南部海岸城市新奥尔良之后，灾区政府担心瘟疫的爆发。数百名受灾群众已经患有肠胃感染等病症。官方警告市民不要接触洪水退去后遗留的淤泥以及饮用不洁净水。目前，德国在很多方面帮助美国救灾，其中最重要的一项工程就是用特殊的泵抽出有毒积水。
