此次飓风可能带来相当大的经济损失。周一夜间,狂风怒潮导致纽约交通主干线布鲁克林-炮台公园隧道(Brooklyn-Battery tunnel)进水,该市地铁系统也有多处进水。纽约市交通局负责人周一夜间说,地铁服务可能暂停至少一周。
Economic damages from Sandy, which is expected to affect some 20% of the U.S. population, could be in the range of $10 billion to $20 billion, according to EQECAT, a catastrophe-risk modeling firm. That compares to Hurricane Irene, which caused $10 billion in damage last year. Insured losses from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 alone topped $45 billion, adjusted for inflation.
灾难模型分析公司EQECAT的数据显示,飓风桑迪预计将影响美国大约20%的人口,经济损失可能在100亿美元至200亿美元。这与飓风艾琳相当,后者去年造成了100亿美元的经济损失。2005年飓风卡特里娜造成的保险损失一项就超过450亿美元(经通胀因素调整后)。
Over the course of Monday, as winds strengthened to 90 miles per hour, waves swept away a historic pier in Ocean City, Md., Monday and left Atlantic City, N.J., largely submerged─the sea rushing over its iconic boardwalk, surging through the streets, and leaving hundreds of people in need of rescue.
周一,随着风力逐渐增强,风速达到每小时90英里(约合145公里),海浪卷走了马里兰州大洋城一个历史悠久的码头,新泽西州大西洋城也已浸水。海水涌过大西洋城标志性的木栈道,涌入各条街道,致使数百人需要救援。
