Sandy was relabeled from a hurricane to a posttropical cyclone on Monday evening. Earlier, its classification as a Category 1 storm, the least powerful category of hurricane, was deceiving. Scientists say the storm has an unusually low atmospheric pressure near its center, an important measure of a storm's strength.
周一晚间,此前被称为飓风的“桑迪被重新归类为后热带气旋。早些时候,“桑迪被归为一级,属于最弱级别的飓风。这个归类容易让人产生误解。科学家说,风暴中心附近的气压非常低,而这是衡量一场风暴强弱的重要指标。
Hurricane-force winds extended as much as 175 miles from Sandy's center. As of Monday, more than 14,200 flights had been canceled in and out of airports stretching from Washington, D.C., to Boston, according to FlightAware.com, a flight-tracking service─well above the roughly 10,000 flights canceled by airlines in August 2011 for Hurricane Irene.
飓风级大风从“桑迪的中心最远吹到175英里(282公里)之外。据跟踪航班情况的FlightAware.com的数据,截至周一,从华盛顿特区一直到波士顿,超过14,200架次的起降航班已被取消,远高于2011年8月航空公司因为飓风“艾琳(Irene)而取消的大约1万架次航班。
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission sent extra inspectors to 10 nuclear plants from Maryland to New York, aware that Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster last year unfolded after that plant was struck by a devastating flood of water from a tsunami.
