In deep water 陷入困境

Although Florida is known as the ‘Sunshine State’, it is often affected by tropical cyclones – weather systems which produce heavy rain and strong winds. Depending on the location and strength, these storms are sometimes called typhoons or hurricanes. The recent tropical storm – named ‘Debby’ – passed across the region and nearly 50cm of rain fell in just two days.

盡管佛羅里達州被稱為“陽光州”,它常常受到熱帶旋風的影響，產生大雨和強風。根據不同的位置和強度,這些風暴有時被稱為臺風和颶風。最近的這次被稱為Debby的熱帶風暴橫掃該地區，僅僅兩天之內降雨量就達到了50厘米。
