美国佛罗里达州遭龙卷风袭击 上万户遭遇停电

Severe weather is blamed for two deaths and five injuries in Manatee County, Florida, local officials said.

据当地官方报道，龙卷风和暴风雨这一极端天气袭击了美国的佛罗里达州马纳提县，导致两人死亡，五人受伤。

Steve Wilson, 58, and Kate Wilson, 51, were killed when the storm damaged the Mobile home, Manatee County spokesman Nick Azzara told CNN.

CNN报道称，马纳提县发言人尼克表示，暴风雨摧毁了威尔逊一家的房屋，死者是58岁的威尔逊和他51岁的妻子凯德。

At least two tornadoes struck in Manatee and Sarasota counties, CNN affiliate WFLA reported.

CNN报道指出，至少有两场龙卷风袭击了马纳提县和萨拉索塔县。

"Most of the damage is in Duette, which is in the far eastern border of Manatee County," Azzara told CNN. "That is believed to be where the tornado touched down and lifted a trailer. That's where the family was where the fatalities are."

“位于马纳提县东部边界的杜埃特镇遭破坏最为严重”，尼克向CNN说道，“这里应该是龙卷风首先到达的地区，龙卷风瞬时将威尔逊一家的房车卷起摧毁，导致了这一家人的悲剧。”

Azzara said the trailer was on its own lot "with no homes for miles around." Some 3,000 people remain without power in Manatee County, he said.

尼克表示，当时威尔逊一家的房车停在自家地段，所幸附近几英里均无住户。目前，马纳提县仍有3000人处于停电状态。

In Sarasota County, storms caused damage to Siesta Key, Sarasota County spokesman Jason Bartolone said. About 17,000 residents are without power throughout Sarasota County.

附近的萨拉索塔县发言人詹森证实，萨拉索塔县也遭受了暴风雨的袭击，损失重大。目前，萨拉索塔县共有1.7万户停电。
