一场强烈的东北风暴于周六清晨开始袭击美国东海岸,导致数千人断电、数百架次航班取消,大风席卷整个地区。

A powerful nor'easter began battering the East Coast early Saturday with thousands of people losing power, hundreds of flights cancelled, and high winds moving throughout the region.

气象 飓风诺洛,一场路径蜿蜒的风暴,威胁夏威夷带来暴雨洪水 从大西洋中部各州一直到缅因州海岸,数千万人处于风暴路径上。国家气象局表示,这个罕见的九月东北风暴预计将在本周末带来沿海洪水、暴雨和大风。

Weather Hurricane Nolo, a zig-zagging storm, threatens Hawaii with flooding rains Tens of millions of people from the mid-Atlantic through the coast of Maine are in the storm's path. The National Weather Service said coastal flooding, heavy rain, and high winds are expected this weekend from the rare September nor'easter.

截至周六上午晚些时候,新泽西州、纽约州、康涅狄格州和马萨诸塞州共有近10万人断电。根据国家气象局的说法,风暴预计将在白天进一步增强并缓慢向北移动。新泽西沿海地区周六上午已出现巨浪和严重洪水。新泽西州马纳斯夸恩市市长迈克尔·曼根于周五宣布进入紧急状态。

Nearly 100,000 people were without power across New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts late Saturday morning. The storm is expected to intensify and move slowly north throughout the day, according to the National Weather Service Coastal New Jersey was already seeing rough surf and intense flooding Saturday morning. Michael Mangan, the mayor of Manasquan, New Jersey declared a state of emergency on Friday.

曼根在周五的讲话中说:“请确保你们手头有水、有食物。随着潮水涌向海岸,我们许多沿海道路可能会因洪水而无法通行。” 新泽西州和纽约州也在两州的多个县宣布进入紧急状态,包括纽约市。周五晚间和周六上午发布在社交媒体上的视频显示,新泽西州街道被洪水淹没,巨浪拍击海岸;在纽约市,人们甚至在街道上划皮划艇。

"Please make sure you have water on hand. You have food on hand," Mangan said in an address on Friday. "Many of our coastal roads might become impassable due to flooding as this tide surges on shore." New Jersey New York also declared states of emergency in counties across the two states, including in New York City. Videos posted on social media Friday night and Saturday morning showed streets inundated with water in New Jersey, and massive waves hitting the coast In New York City, people were seen kayaking in the streets Climate Years after storms, clean-up crews meticulously separate the sentimental from the wreckage Francis Tarasiewicz, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Boston, said wind gusts along the coast could reach up to 60 miles per hour. This nor'easter comes earlier than the typical October through May storm season, he said, and will last longer than normal.

气候 风暴过后多年,清理队伍仍在废墟中细致分离珍贵回忆 波士顿国家气象局气象学家弗朗西斯·塔拉西维奇表示,沿海地区阵风时速可达60英里。他说,这个东北风暴来得比典型的10月至次年5月风暴季更早,持续时间也将比正常情况更长。"许多东北风暴在大约一天的时间内影响该地区,"他说。"在许多情况下,这是一记强风的重拳,伴随大雪或暴雨。"但塔拉谢维奇说:"对于这场风暴,我们预计全区将出现约48小时风速超过每小时35至40英里的大风。"另一个担忧是枝繁叶茂的树木。塔拉谢维奇说,大风将给植物带来巨大压力,可能导致更多停电。他预计停电风险最大的地区将是罗德岛南部、马萨诸塞州东部以及科德角和岛屿地区。

"Many nor'easters affect the area over the course of about a day," he said. "It's a quick punch of strong winds, in many cases, heavy snow or rain." But, Tarasiewicz said, "with this one, we're looking at about a 48 hour period of winds greater than 35 to 40 miles per hour across the area." Another concern is with full, leafy trees. Tarasiewicz said the winds will put significant strain on the plants and could lead to more power outages. He expects the greatest risk for outages across southern Rhode Island, eastern Massachusetts and the Cape and Islands region.

根据FlightAware的数据,周六上午有数百个航班被取消,数千个航班延误。科德角和罗德岛的渡轮服务中断,美铁因天气和倒塌的电线取消了多趟列车。这场东北风暴还导致周末计划的多项活动取消。

Hundreds of flights were cancelled Saturday morning with thousands more delayed, according to data from FlightAware Ferry services on Cape Cod and in Rhode Island were disrupted, and Amtrak cancelled several trains due to the weather and downed wires.

马里兰州最大的音乐节"Oceans Calling"于周五取消。红袜队宣布将更换与芝加哥小熊队比赛的场地,埃德·希兰宣布他在马萨诸塞州福克斯伯勒吉列体育场的演出将取消。

The nor'easter also took out a number of events planned for the weekend. Oceans Calling, Maryland's biggest music festival, was cancelled on Friday. The Red Sox announced they would move their games against the Chicago Cubs, and Ed Sheeran announced his show at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., would be cancelled.

预报员预测,风暴将从周一晚上到周二向东北方向移动穿过科德角,到周三晚上减弱。

Forecasters predict the storm to move northeast across Cape Cod from Monday night into Tuesday, easing by Wednesday night.

塔拉谢维奇说,东北风暴是根据它们产生的风向命名的,所以在这种情况下是东北风。它们在秋冬季节很常见。

Nor'easters are named after the wind direction that results from them, so in this case, northeast winds, Tarasiewicz said. They're common in fall and winter months.
