CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: Fridays are awesome. The undisputed king of weekdays. I`m Carl Azuz. We are starting today`s commercial free coverage on the West Coast where wind gusts in the Sierra Nevada Mountains have been as high as 147 miles per hour. That`s hurricane force. Where seven foot waves have been reported on Lake Tahoe, where as much as 14 inches of rain has fallen near San Francisco. It is a monster of a storm. One of the strongest to hit the area since 2008.
星期五太棒了。一周里最棒的一天。我是Carl Azuz。首先今天时事新闻说一说西海岸肆虐的狂风,内华达山脉风速已经达到147英里每小时。已经达到了飓风等级水平。据报道在降水量多达14英寸的旧金山附近,太浩湖翻起了七英尺巨浪。这是一场巨大风暴,是自2008年以来最强风暴之一。
Ferry services have been canceled, schools around the San Francisco Bay Area have been closed. A stream of moist air has flowed to the region from Hawaii. It`s effecting California, Oregon and Washington.
港口渡船已经暂停工作,旧金山海湾地区学校已经关闭。从夏威夷地区刮来的潮湿空气都聚集到了这里,影响范围涉及加利福尼亚州,俄勒冈州和华盛顿地区。
You`d think rain would be good for California in the middle of its historic drought, but so much rain in so little time on such dry ground can bring serious flooding. And there`s a blizzard warning in parts of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
你可能认为降水对于加利福尼亚中部地区干旱来讲是有帮助的,但是在这么短时间内汇集如此之多的降水量很容易造成洪涝灾害。而这也是内华达山脉地区发出的暴风雪警报。
