Hurricane looms over Mexico
飓风再次影响墨西哥 学校关闭民众疏散
Ports are closed, school classes suspended and hundreds of people have been moved to higher ground, as hurricaine Raymond hovers 160 km off the coast of Mexico. Here in Acapulco, residents clear rubbish from the canal in an effort to prevent more flooding in a city recovering from devastating floods last month. Nearly six thousand people are still living in shelters after two tropical storms in September killed more than 150 people, causing billions of dollars of damage.
飓风雷蒙德以每小时160千米的速度袭击墨西哥海岸，港口关闭，学校停课，数百人已经转移到较高位置。这里是阿卡普尔科，居民们正在清理运河垃圾，防止刚刚从上个月灾难性的洪水中恢复的城市再次遭遇洪灾。9月份两个热带风暴夹击造成超过150人遇难，数十亿美元财产损失后，仍有接近6,000人住在临时庇护所。
(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) RESIDENT LUZ ELENA CABALLERO SAYING: "The Marquesita canal is threatening. It comes from the plains and it is full of dirt and they really should help us from that side. That side is where the water comes from. When Paulina happened (hurricane Paulina in 1997) the same thing happened and now again. It's not fair that we pay for such expensive housing and that we lose everything we have. We lose our furniture. We are losing everything and it is really a very big problem."
居民LUZ ELENA CABALLERO：“Marquesita运河充满威胁。这条运河始于平原地区，充满了垃圾，这样可以从另外一端对我们起到帮助。另外一端就是水源地。1997年Paulina飓风袭击时曾经发生过这种情况，现在再次重演。这不公平，我们付出了昂贵的代价购买房产，我们失去了一切。我们失去了所有家具。我们失去了所有财产，这是一个大问题。”
The category three hurricaine is already dumping steady rain.....and many roads are washed out. Acapulco's beaches are almost deserted as the winds picked up to speeds of 190 km an hour. Emergency services said the storm could move closer to the coast on Tuesday before heading west on Wednesday. Officials are urging residents to leave flood-risk areas and to keep off roads and sea lanes, for fear this heavy rainfall might trigger flash floods and mudslides.
这次三级飓风已经带来持续的倾盆大雨，许多道路被损坏。飓风经过时风速为每小时190千米，阿卡普尔科的沙滩几乎变成荒漠。应急部门表示，周二，飓风可能进一步向海岸逼近，周三转向西移动。官员们敦促居民离开可能发生洪灾的地区，远离道路和航道，担心暴雨可能引起骤发洪水和泥石流。
