美國佛羅里達州遭龍捲風襲擊 上萬戶遭遇停電

Severe weather is blamed for two deaths and five injuries in Manatee County, Florida, local officials said.

據當地官方報道，龍捲風和暴風雨這一極端天氣襲擊了美國的佛羅里達州馬納提縣，導致兩人死亡，五人受傷。

Steve Wilson, 58, and Kate Wilson, 51, were killed when the storm damaged the mobile home, Manatee County spokesman Nick Azzara told CNN.

CNN報道稱，馬納提縣發言人尼克表示，暴風雨摧毀了威爾遜一家的房屋，死者是58歲的威爾遜和他51歲的妻子凱德。

At least two tornadoes struck in Manatee and Sarasota counties, CNN affiliate WFLA reported.

CNN報道指出，至少有兩場龍捲風襲擊了馬納提縣和薩拉索塔縣。

"Most of the damage is in Duette, which is in the far eastern border of Manatee County," Azzara told CNN. "That is believed to be where the tornado touched down and lifted a trailer. That's where the family was where the fatalities are."

“位於馬納提縣東部邊界的杜埃特鎮遭破壞最爲嚴重”，尼克向CNN說道，“這裏應該是龍捲風首先到達的地區，龍捲風瞬時將威爾遜一家的房車捲起摧毀，導致了這一家人的悲劇。”

Azzara said the trailer was on its own lot "with no homes for miles around." Some 3,000 people remain without power in Manatee County, he said.

尼克表示，當時威爾遜一家的房車停在自家地段，所幸附近幾英里均無住戶。目前，馬納提縣仍有3000人處於停電狀態。

In Sarasota County, storms caused damage to Siesta Key, Sarasota County spokesman Jason Bartolone said. About 17,000 residents are without power throughout Sarasota County.

附近的薩拉索塔縣發言人詹森證實，薩拉索塔縣也遭受了暴風雨的襲擊，損失重大。目前，薩拉索塔縣共有1.7萬戶停電。
