颶風過後紐約市仍處於癱瘓中

經歷了「桑迪」颶風猛烈襲擊的大都市紐約，南北兩端的恢復情況迥然不同。在紐約城北部，人們已經開始正常上班。城市南部，也就是紐約市中心，仍然是一片黑暗。停電還在繼續，這讓居民們非常難熬。

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.

颶風"艾琳"來了，紐約街道空了

美國東海岸數十年來遭遇的最強颶風"艾琳"28日抵達紐約。紐約政府強令30多萬居民轉移。金融大都紐約幾乎成了空城。美國東海岸共有數百萬居民疏散。"艾琳"已經奪走了多人的生命。

2005年8月29日，颶風卡特琳娜進入美國新奧爾良市。這個座落在墨西哥灣畔的南國都市80％的面積被大水淹沒，洪水沖破了堤壩，淹沒了運河與管道，世界末日般的暴雨同時肆虐。在這座城市的居民被轉移出去之前，已有近1500人死亡。很多區幾月後仍無法居住。今天，4年之後，這座爵士樂之都仍然只有局部地從災難中恢復了過來。

四年前的8月29日，颶風卡特琳娜橫掃那時的新奧爾良城。這場颶風成了美國災難應對政策的一場災難。直到今天，那裡還有許多居民仍覺得自己孤立無援。許多名人試著以捐款來提供幫助，然而只有一個人規劃著獨特的、可持續的項目。好萊塢演員布拉德‧皮特跟3名德國建築設計師合作，為那裡最貧窮的人蓋房子，並且要達到最低的造價和能源價格，同時安全，有利於健康，符合可持續的標準。

海灘監測：別被颶風搶走了沙子

強烈颶風威脅著全球的海岸。例如不久前席捲中美州的卡特琳納和維爾瑪號颶風，不僅給人類造成嚴重損失，而且嚴重破壞了自然生態。尤其是颶風導致的海浪捲走了大量沙子，使一些得天獨厚的渡假海灘逐漸縮小。歐盟研究人員如今研製了一個新的電腦程序，可以有效地調查海灘被吞噬情況。

麗塔迫使美國重新考慮能源政策

颶風麗塔不斷接近美國墨西哥灣海岸，導致數百萬人被迫離開自己的家園。德克薩斯州的道路一度出現堵塞現象。自然災害對美國的經濟發展造成了嚴重的威脅。因為美國東南部沿海地區有多家石化工廠。

德國技術救援人員前往新奧爾良

美國颶風「卡特琳娜」席捲美國東南部海岸城市新奧爾良之後，災區政府擔心瘟疫的爆發。數百名受災群眾已經患有腸胃感染等病症。官方警告市民不要接觸洪水退去後遺留的淤泥以及飲用不潔淨水。目前，德國在很多方面幫助美國救災，其中最重要的一項工程就是用特殊的泵抽出有毒積水。
