Hurricane Irma Batters Caribbean Islands
飓风“厄玛”袭击加勒比群岛
A Category 5 hurricane battered the Caribbean islands this week before making landfall in the US and causing massive flooding and power outages throughout Florida. Some of the hardest hit islands were Anguilla, Barbuda, and St. Martin. Hurricane Irma also made landfall in Cuba, which downgraded its strength slightly before the storm went through the Florida Keys. All of the islands that were hit are in desperate need of aid including clean drinking water. International relief from the UK, France, and the Netherlands has finally begun to arrive.
