蓋維斯敦暴風雨 (Galveston
Storm)
城市遭受暴風雨襲擊已經夠嚇人了，但您能想像它同時遭遇颶風及海潚的情境嗎？1900年9月8日，位於墨西哥灣海岸線上德州境內的蓋維斯敦市遭時速高達120哩強風、傾盆大雨及洪水的劫掠。暴風雨歷時18個小時。海嘯襲來，直接橫掃這些與海平面等高的街道，街道上的居家及建築物無一倖免。除此之外，海嘯也造成電力、道路及通訊系統全面中斷。這場暴風雨導致5,000多人喪生。您能想像在暴風雨中拍攝影片的情景嗎？
It's scary enough when a city is hit by a bad storm, but can you imagine what it's like when a city is hit by hurricane winds and tidal waves? On September 8, 1900, the city of Galveston, Texas, on the coastline of the Gulf of Mexico, was ravaged by 120 mile-per-hour winds, torrential rains, and flooding. The storm lasted 18 hours. Tidal waves swept through the sea-level streets destroying homes and buildings and wiping out electricity, roads, and communications systems. More than 5,000 people lost their lives as a result of this storm. Can you imagine what it was like trying to capture the storm on film?
