Hurricane Ian hit the state's west coast with winds of over 240 km/h.

颶風伊恩襲擊了該州的西海岸，風速超過240公里/小時。

So this is a devastating storm for parts of Florida, not just on the southwest coast but also inland associated with some of these impacts.

是以，對於佛羅里達州的部分地區來說，這是一場毀滅性的風暴，不僅僅是在西南海岸，也包括與這些影響相關的內陸地區。

This is going to be a storm we talked about for many years to come.

這將是我們在未來許多年裡談論的一場風暴。

It's one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the U.

這是美國有記錄以來最強大的風暴之一。

The authorities have warned the pounding rain and wind will continue as the hurricane crosses florida to the atlantic ocean.

當局警告說，隨著颶風穿過佛羅里達州進入大西洋，撲面而來的風雨將繼續。

The state's governor says that it could take years to recover from the devastation left behind.

該州州長說，可能需要幾年時間才能從留下的破壞中恢復過來。

This is a major, major event.

這是一個重要的、重大的事件。

It's going to be going to be a tragic event in many ways and we understand this is not just a 48 hour ordeal.

這將會是一個在許多方面都很悲慘的事件，我們知道這不僅僅是一個48小時的折磨。

This is going to be something that is going to be there for days and weeks and months and unfortunately in some circumstances even years, the flood waters as well as winds are causing the most damage.

這將是幾天、幾周和幾個月的事情，不幸的是，在某些情況下甚至幾年，洪水以及風造成了最大的損害。

The hurricane has knocked out electricity to more than one million homes and businesses in the city of Tampa.

颶風使坦帕市100多萬個家庭和企業停電。

The power of the storm sucked the water right out of the bay even though the hurricane weakened as it moved inland, authorities are warning of devastating rain wind and even tornadoes still to come as it tears across the state.

風暴的威力直接將海灣的水吸走，儘管颶風在向內陸移動時有所減弱，但當局警告說，當它撕裂整個州時，破壞性的大風甚至龍捲風仍將到來。

Let's get a closer look at this with Matthew Capoccia meteorologist with the my radar app, He's in port charlotte florida.

讓我們和我的雷達應用程序的氣象學家Matthew Capoccia仔細看看這個問題，他在佛羅里達州夏洛特港。

Matthew.

馬太。

What more can you tell us about the situation in florida right now.

關於佛羅里達州現在的情況，你還能告訴我們什麼。

Hey, good morning.

嘿，早上好。

You know, I can say personally, I've never witnessed a storm at least firsthand this intense what we're seeing right now, conditions are beginning to die down here where we are, which is good to finally have a break from the wind and the rain and everything else.

你知道，我可以說，我個人從來沒有親眼目睹過至少是第一手的風暴，我們現在看到的是如此強烈的風暴，我們這裡的情況開始平息下來，這很好，終於可以從風和雨以及其他一切中休息一下。

The first half of the storm was bad, especially for areas south support charlotte we're talking enables, we're talking Fort Myers, we saw their highest storm surge ever recorded more than 2 2.5 m, which completely inundated the coastline where I was, we saw significant winds in the order, I'd say 100 40 plus kilometers per hour and plentiful rainfall.

風暴的前半部分很糟糕，特別是對於支持夏洛特的南部地區，我們正在談論使，我們正在談論邁爾斯堡，我們看到他們有史以來最高的風暴潮記錄超過2 2.5米，這完全淹沒了我所在的海岸線，我們看到顯著的風的順序，我說100 40多公里每小時和豐沛的降雨。

Then we got the, I ordinarily the second half of the storm is weaker in this case it was far stronger from a win standpoint.

然後我們得到了，我通常情況下，風暴的後半部分比較弱，在這種情況下，從勝利的角度來看，它要強得多。

We saw winds gusting close to gosh, 1 72 190 kilometers per hour.

我們看到風速接近天哪，每小時1 72 190公里。

We saw absolutely plentiful rainfall to the point where even beyond storm surge, every place that we were trying to drive through or around was inaccessible due to extreme flooding with rainfall rates of five plus two, perhaps centimeters per hour, it's an extremely difficult situation and now this is the first time in my life I've looked out the window and can't find a single light anywhere.

我們看到絕對豐沛的降雨，甚至超過了風暴潮，我們試圖開車經過或繞過的每一個地方都因為極端的洪水而無法進入，降雨率為每小時5加2，也許是釐米，這是一個極其困難的情況，現在這是我一生中第一次向窗外看，在任何地方都找不到一盞燈。

The only lights we've seen all night long were actually hunkered down in a garage right now are from transformers blowing to power flashes.

我們整晚看到的唯一的燈光實際上是現在蜷縮在車庫裡，是由變壓器炸開的電源閃電。

Why was the second part of the storm so much stronger.

為什麼第二部分的風暴會如此強大。

You know that's something that I think we're gonna have to be discussing for quite some time because honestly it didn't really follow the textbook structure of a typical storm.

你知道，我認為我們將不得不討論相當長的一段時間，因為說實話，它並沒有真正遵循典型風暴的教科書結構。

We had expected this storm several days ago to be in a weakening trend towards landfall.

幾天前，我們曾預計這場風暴在登陸時有減弱的趨勢。

Instead this defined all odds rapidly intensifying this morning to a borderline category five.

相反，這界定了所有的可能性，今天早上迅速加強到邊緣的五級。

And so many things really surprised us about this.

而這麼多事情真的讓我們感到驚訝。

So what's the damage like the damage from what I can see is that of a miles wide Ef two Ef three tornado.

那麼，從我所看到的損害情況來看，是一個數英里寬的Ef 2 Ef 3龍捲風的損害情況。

You have a lot of people whose homes are underwater or roofs that are missing.

你有很多人的房子被水淹沒或屋頂丟失。

You'll have my goodness.

你會擁有我的善良。

I mean the building were underneath right now had its roof peeled back.

我的意思是，現在下面的建築物的屋頂已經被剝掉了。

Lots of areas are still underwater.

很多地區仍然在水下。

Further inland from freshwater flowing.

離淡水流更遠的內陸地區。

It's just one thing after another and I think until daylight comes in about three or four hours we won't really understand the scale of the devastation.

這只是一件又一件的事情，我想直到大約三四個小時後天亮，我們才會真正瞭解破壞的規模。

Matthew poochie meteorologist with the my radar app in port charlotte florida.

馬修-普奇氣象學家與我的雷達應用程序在佛羅里達州夏洛特港。

Thank you.

謝謝你。

Thank you.

謝謝你。

Let's pick up on some of those points with a jit Niranjan from dw environment.

讓我們和來自dw環境的jit Niranjan一起探討其中的一些觀點。

Um as we heard, they're not a textbook storm that we're seeing there.

嗯，正如我們聽到的，他們不是我們在那裡看到的教科書式的風暴。

What what's different exactly what are we seeing here.

我們在這裡看到的到底有什麼不同。

So I mean this was one of the strongest storms in U.

所以我的意思是這是美國最強的風暴之一。

S.

S.

Recorded history but it's definitely not going to be one of the strongest storms in the U.

記錄的歷史，但它絕對不會是美國最強的風暴之一。

S.

S.

S.

S.

Future.

未來。

I mean these sorts of events are becoming stronger because of climate change.

我的意思是，由於氣候變化，這類事件正變得越來越強烈。

They're not becoming more frequent.

它們並沒有變得更加頻繁。

I mean hurricanes generally but these kind of category 3 to 4 to five storms definitely are.

我是說一般的颶風，但這些3到4到5級的風暴絕對是。

And so this is a kind of projection that climate scientists are saying we've got all sorts of new factors that were brought in by burning fossil fuels and heating up the planet.

是以，這是一種預測，氣候科學家說我們有各種新的因素，是由燃燒化石燃料和加熱地球帶來的。

Like sea levels have risen higher.

比如海平面上升得更高。

There's more warmer air can hold more water vapor in it.

有更多溫暖的空氣可以容納更多的水蒸氣在裡面。

So when it does rain it rains much harder.

是以，一旦下雨，就會下得更大。

And on top of that you have all sorts of other factors that are maybe a bit more difficult to plot out.

除此之外，你還有各種各樣的其他因素，這些因素也許更難描繪出來。

But one thing that we're seeing often is storms that are starting to just slow down and this looks like what's happening here that's slowing down.

但是我們經常看到的一件事是風暴開始放緩，這看起來就像這裡發生的事情，正在放緩。

Which means there's more time in which the rain can just be inundate flooding onto an area that's already inundated.

這意味著有更多的時間，雨水可以被淹沒到已經被淹沒的地區。

How then can places like florida which already have problems with flooding keep up with this sort of extreme weather and these sorts of events.

那麼像佛羅里達這樣已經有洪水問題的地方怎麼能跟上這種極端天氣和這類事件。

So the unfortunate truth is that there are limits to how much communities and people in regions can adapt to these sorts of events that are getting stronger.

是以，不幸的事實是，各地區的社區和人民能夠適應這類越來越強的事件的程度是有限的。

There is a huge amount they can do before they get to the point where places are actually unlivable and so to actually reduce the damage and the death toll and the amount of infrastructure that gets destroyed, there's all sorts of things they can do.

在他們達到實際無法居住的地步之前，他們可以做大量的工作，是以為了實際減少損失和死亡人數以及被摧毀的基礎設施的數量，他們可以做各種各樣的事情。

So having good evacuation plans, warning people early and making sure that people respond in an effective way.

是以，要有良好的疏散計劃，及早警告人們，並確保人們以有效的方式作出反應。

Clear communication from politicians.

政治家的清晰溝通。

All of that will reduce death tolls and make people able to actually cope with the events much more.

所有這些都將減少死亡人數，並使人們能夠真正應對這些事件。

But you still have the problems of homes that will be washed away.

但是你仍然有房屋會被沖走的問題。

People have to pay more for their insurance premiums to be able, I mean some people won't even be able to ensure their homes anymore.

人們必須支付更多的保險費才行，我的意思是有些人甚至無法再確保他們的家園。

So what's this all mean?

那麼，這一切意味著什麼呢？

What do governments have to do?

政府必須做什麼？

Because from what you're saying, it may not be more frequent events, but even more severe events.

因為根據你所說的，可能不是更頻繁的事件，而是更嚴重的事件。

Is that what you're saying?

你是這麼說的嗎？

Exactly.

正是如此。

And so I mean there's two very clear things governments can do.

所以我的意思是，有兩件非常明確的事情政府可以做。

I mean, first world leaders who promise to hold global warming at 1.5°C above pre industrial temperatures.

我的意思是，第一個承諾將全球變暖控制在比工業化前溫度高1.5℃的世界領導人。

They can honor that pledge.

他們可以兌現這一承諾。

They can put in the policies in place to actually get there at the minute.

他們可以把政策落實到位，在這一刻真正達到目的。

We're almost looking to double that temperature target.

我們幾乎希望將這一溫度目標翻倍。

And that means stronger storms, stronger hurricanes.

而這意味著更強的風暴，更強的颶風。

On the other hand right now, they need to accept that we've already heated the planet about 1.1°C and that means that the world is hot of the world is different to how it used to be 100 years ago.

另一方面，現在，他們需要接受的是，我們已經把地球加熱了大約1.1°C，這意味著世界是熱的，世界與100年前的情況不同。

And that means they need to put in place the adaptation measures to actually allow people, like we just said, to evacuate in the face of danger to have the support they need when they do lose their homes and to have plans in place so that people don't end up suffering unduly.

這意味著他們需要制定適應性措施，以實際允許人們，就像我們剛才說的，在面對危險時撤離，在他們確實失去家園時得到他們需要的支持，並制定計劃，使人們最終不會遭受不應有的痛苦。

But is it that simple to just decide, okay, we're going to hold the temperature at this certain level.

但是，只是決定，好吧，我們要把溫度保持在這個特定的水準，有那麼簡單嗎？

It's definitely not simple.

這絕對不簡單。

But the reassuring news is that the technology is almost completely there and it's cheap.

但令人欣慰的是，該技術幾乎完全存在，而且很便宜。

There's so many things that governments could be doing that would hold warming far lower than what they expected to do if it does end up going over the limits that kind of they've agreed on.

政府可以做的事情很多，如果氣候變暖最終超過了他們所同意的限度，那麼這些事情會使氣候變暖遠遠低於他們所期望的程度。

There are ways to suck common outside back out of the atmosphere, but these are less tested, less proven.

有一些方法可以將普通的外界事物從大氣中吸回來，但這些方法較少經過測試，較少被證實。

So what scientists keep stressing is cut emissions now and faster and you save a whole lot of suffering for the rest of the century and john thank you very much for coming in from D.

是以，科學家們一直強調的是現在就減少排放，而且速度要快，這樣你就可以在本世紀餘下的時間裡節省大量的痛苦，約翰，非常感謝你從D市過來。
