Only today when so many people who live here realize the true extent of destruction, the devastation left by this historic hurricane. Never before had they endured a category 4 hurricane and keep in mind , it is nearly a category 5.
直到今天当地人民才发现这场空前的台风究竟给他们带来了怎样的灾难，他们之前从来没有经历过4级飓风，然而今天的这场飓风的级别已经接近5级了

Tonight we have just landed after flying in the Black Hawk over a worst-hit area---Mexico beach.
今晚，我们驾驶着黑鹰直升机飞过墨西哥海滩，这是台风中受灾最严重的地方

The moment you came upon that beach community from the air you can see it, homes wiped off the earth, some sitting in the middle of the street; buildings with their roof tops gone, and remember, that’s right near where it made land fall at 155 mile per hour.
当飞机从上空越过海滩时，你能看到房屋被台风刮飞，有些甚至被刮到马路中央。在这场风速达到155英里每小时的台风中，房屋的屋顶也难免其害。

And right here in Panama city tonight, much of the jinx schools did not survive. Two of the walls are completely gone
今晚，在巴拿马的一些城市中，很多学校也受灾严重。甚至还有两面墙消失不见了。

This evening, we are embedded with searching rescue team, and they now go to door to door looking for people who might have tried to ride out of the hurricane
我们在灾后跟随着搜救队，挨家挨户的搜寻有没有在逃生过程中被困的人

Everywhere you look here, trees are on top of the homes
不论走到哪里，都能看到树挂到屋顶上的灾后景象

This hurricane has been deadly, and the storm are still on the move tonight across North Caroline of Virginia, as it move right up the coast.
这场台风带来的影响是致命的，然后它带来的风暴仍然在不断朝着维吉尼亚的北卡罗莱纳州移动，直直地朝着海岸过去

But we are going to begin here tonight with what we witness just the moment ago flying over the decimated Mexico Beach.
现在我们将对被大幅摧毁的墨西哥沙滩的灾难景象进行报道

Tonight, the scene is unimaginable. The devastation on Mexico beach as seen from above. Hurricane Micheal making land fall at 155 miles per hour, and this is what strong category 4 hurricane will do
眼前的景象实在太难以想象了，从上空看下去，墨西哥海岸受灾极为严重。台风“迈克尔”以155英里每小时的速度席卷该地区，带来极为严重的破坏。这就是4级台风带来的后果

It’s almost impossible to describe the destruction, for hurricane Michael is on Mexico Beach, some buildings are still standing, others are completely destroyed
我几乎没法用语言来形容其受灾程度，有些建筑物还坚强的挺立着，有些却已经被完全摧毁了

From the sky, nearly every building we fly over are damaged in some way. The roof top blows right off those rooms. Entire blocks reduce to splintered piles of debris. This is all that remains of so many homes with families still waiting to return
飞机所过之处，都受到了不同程度的破坏。房顶脱离了房屋，砖头也变成了碎片。往下看所能看到的都是房屋的残骸，人们都在期盼着能够早日回归

You can see in many places, homes have been simply swept away, homes are sitting in the middle of the streets, clearly swept away by the storm surge
我们可以看到，汹涌的风暴过后，房屋四处散落，有些甚至还横躺在马路中央

And there is another view of from this drone flying over Mexico beach, entire roof tops blocking the street.
从无人机路过墨西哥海岸是传送回的画面我们还可以看到，一大块屋顶挡住了街道

The sheer power of Michael, nearly a category 5 hurricane ravage this coast-line community
这一场近5级的台风为这个岸边小镇带来了惨重的破坏
