Every fall hurricanes slam the United States coast. They upset boats, fell mature trees, wash away sections of public beaches and often cause death. Fortunately with the advantage of modern prior warning systems authorities are able to keep the chaos to a minimum. Regardless, some sectors of the population still ignore the warnings. The burden of rescuing these irresponsible adults falls on the authorities. Mean while government budgets are strained. To assemble enough aid to assure assistance for all regions in a country stretches finances.
每年秋天,飓风都要猛烈攻击美国海岸。它们打翻船只,刮倒大树,冲毁成片的公共海滩,还常常造成人员伤亡。所幸的是,由于有了先进的预警系统,当局能够将这种混乱不堪的状况降到最低限度。但不管怎样,还是有一部分人忽视这些警告。营救这些不负责任的成年人的重任就落在了当局身上。这时,政府预算就显得很勉强。要调集足够的物资,保证为一个国家的所有地区提供帮助,使得财政吃紧。
Hurricanes seldom reach Ontario, Canada, but in 1954 Hurricane Hazel exposed the residents of Toronto to an awful night of flooding and terror. Responding to the disaster required the supreme effort of all the rescue departments.
飓风很少影响到加拿大的安大略省。但在1954年,黑兹尔飓风却使多伦多的居民遭遇了一个充满灌水和恐惧的可怕夜晚。为了应付那次灾难,所有救援机构都尽了最大的努力。
