ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Hurricane Laura made landfall as one of most powerful storms to ever hit the U.S. Early Thursday, it pounded the Louisiana and Texas coasts as a Category 4 storm, delivering a barrage of 150-mile-an-hour winds and a major storm surge. The storm weakened as it moved inland, but remained destructive with strong wind and heavy rain, and forecasters said it could spawn tornadoes. Landfall came after officials in both states issued the gravest of warnings about the storm, and more than 1.5 million people in the coastal regions of Texas and Louisiana were under some form of evacuation orders. Utility companies reported that about 404,000 customers in Louisiana and another 104,000 in Texas were without power Thursday morning. For those riding out the storm, there was little to do but hunker down and wait for the winds to die down, allowing search-and-rescue crews to set out to help those who were stranded.
