熱帶暴風雨「艾薩克」威力逐漸增強，可能達到二級颶風的威力，並將在(美國當地時間)周三凌晨在「墨西哥灣」北部登陸，周三正是「卡崔娜颶風事件」七週年紀念，當地民眾在嚴防「艾薩克」的同時，想起「卡崔娜」也不禁餘悸猶存: {$ T- {' Z$ X5 F

隨著「艾薩克」風雨增強，直逼美國南部海岸的同時，美國總統「歐巴馬」宣布「路易斯安那州」進入緊急狀態，當局也下令，從「佛羅里達州」西南部到「路易斯安那州」東南部沿海低窪地區居民全部撤離。公仔箱論壇2 N) k& l/ F$ v9 g. A& _
紐奧良市長「蘭德魯」表示，對於「艾薩克」登陸時間可能與「卡崔娜」在同一天，簡直讓他頭皮發麻。
美國「共和黨」原訂從周一開始，在「佛羅里達州」「坦帕市」舉行三天的全國黨代表大會也因為風雨來襲，而取消第一天的議程，從周二開始。
而即將迎接暴風雨到襲的「阿拉巴馬」「密西西比」及「路易斯安那」三州的「共和黨」籍州長已取消前往「坦帕市」出席全代會的行程，全心坐鎮州政府，指揮防災。氣象預報指出，「艾薩克」夾帶的狂風可能在「墨西哥灣」北部海岸掀起2到3公尺的巨浪。
美國聯邦緊急事務部官員表示，自從2005年8月29號、「卡崔娜颶風」襲擊南部沿海地區，引起海水倒灌，堤防潰決，造成上千人死亡，數十萬人被迫撤離之後，政府已加強鞏固堤防，這次「艾薩克」不如「卡崔娜」強勁，應該可以擋得住。
美國南部各州沿海居民為躲避颶風紛紛撤離，一名紐奧良居民表示，當年為躲避「卡崔娜」，他被困在要疏散的車潮當中三天，直到直昇機解救他脫困，因此今年他要提早撤離。

Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser, whose home has been flooded in the growing storm, said around 2,000 residents had been ordered to evacuate yet only half were confirmed to have left before Isaac brought driving winds and rain beginning late on Tuesday.

'On the east bank right now, we have reports of people on their roofs and attics and 12 to 14 foot of water' in their homes, Nungesser told CNN. 'This storm has delivered more of a punch than people thought.'

'The sheriff's deputies are over there but all the roads are unpassable,' he continued. 'We don't know if some people are left behind and now we can't get there and there is no way we can operate a boat or an air boat in these winds.'

It was not immediately clear how many people may have been stranded in the area, as torrential rain and hurricane-force winds prevented a full-scale search, yet thousands across the area have suffered a loss of power after Issac's landfall at 6.45 p.m. on Tuesday.

New Orleans Mayor Mitchell Landrieu told local radio on Monday: 'All of the levees are holding and are very strong. There are no risks. It is holding exactly as we expected it to and is performing exactly as it should. There are no people on rooftops from flooding that even approximates what happened during Katrina.'

But Plaquemines Parish was outside the city limits that benefited from the beefing up of New Orleans' flood defenses.

HURRICANE KATRINA: CLEANING UP THE DEVASTATION0 \$ L# C, O/ C) A8 j
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina lashed New Orleans, wiping out hundreds of thousands of homes, submerging 80 per cent of the city in flood water and leading to the deaths of 1,836 people.

The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) was lambasted for its slow response and the chaos following the disaster. Even though workers were in the region, many could not give direct assistance and could only report on the situation. They were overwhelmed by the sheer number of victims and their communication and transportation struggled with the severe flooding. Within three days, National Guard and active duty troops were sent to the area.

While some were slow to arrive, relief agencies eventually swarmed New Orleans and remained for months following the disaster. Two months after the hurricane, charities like the Red Cross were a mainstay - setting up relief centers around the city that provided hot meals, food, bottled water and other supplies like diapers. Volunteers, from groups such as Habitat for Humanity, helped repair homes.

（中央社紐奧良3日綜合外電報導）美國總統歐巴馬今天自忙碌競選行程中撥出空檔，前往路易斯安那州紐奧良視察颶風艾薩克（Isaac）災情，並慰問救災人員。

艾薩克上週侵襲紐奧良，造成大部分地區淹水。

白宮發言人卡尼（Jay Carney）在空軍一號（Air Force One）上對記者否認歐巴馬這次視察是要和共和黨總統候選人羅姆尼（Mitt Romney）較勁。羅姆尼8月31日意外造訪紐奧良。5.39.217.76& [) a2 U7 S0 }1 t% T- v

但他聲稱共和黨副總統候選人萊恩（Paul Ryan）帶頭的共和黨人，去年試圖刪減遭天災重創民眾的救災援助款。

前總統小布希7年前處理颶風卡崔娜（Katrina）救災不力導致敗選，紐奧良成為他失敗象徵。因而這次兩位候選人都不敢掉以輕心，決定展現他們危機領導能力。

路州州長辦公室表示，雖然威力減弱的艾薩克已往東離去，路州仍有12萬5000人無電可用。有些地區大水未退，約有2600人仍住在緊急避災所。歐巴馬已宣布路州及密西西比州為災區。

能源部也表示，之前也因風災降低產量的埃克森巴頓魯治煉油廠（Baton Rouge）生產也恢復正常。這處煉油廠日產50萬2500桶。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。. @0 m3 E+ |7 p
