熱帶風暴艾薩克逼近美國佛羅里達，預料將在登陸時發展成為颶風。

佛羅里達南部目前進入緊急狀態，艾薩克此前已經在佛羅里達礁群島造成電力供應中斷，房屋被釘上木板，大批民眾準備前往大陸躲避。3 r) y; x" q- N" Q

【中廣新聞／謝佐人】

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
。
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。
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。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。* F9 E+ k! E2 s. o/ X! i/ g! @7 P
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。公仔箱論壇5 v" D3 L; e: K& c
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。

While not nearly as strong as Katrina - a Category 3 hurricane when it slammed into New Orleans on August 29, 2005 - Isaac, with Category 1 winds up to 80 mph, was a threat that authorities said should not be underestimated.

This morning, Isaac was 50 miles south-southwest of New Orleans and packing top sustained winds of 80 miles an hour, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. Hurricane force winds extended outward up to 60 miles from the storm's center.

It was inching northwestward at just 6 mph - a slow pace that increases the threat of rain-induced flooding. The hurricane is expected to dump up to 20 inches of rain in some areas.

HURRICANE KATRINA: CLEANING UP THE DEVASTATION公仔箱論壇/ O% A  A% Y# x4 a! H
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.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb8 M: h, ^) s* \& e) D

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.8 V( [$ \, n9 X. C- w( X

The government sought $105 billion for reconstruction and repairs for the region. A week after the hurricane, power began surging back, service relief ships began docking and water and sewage was gradually restored.# u- V# E# m. I1 Y

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.5.39.217.761 W; A8 {$ y. M/ P4 X* x% I

For years following the disaster, debris was removed and homes were rebuilt, but the population still remains around two thirds of what it was before the hurricane struck.

'We are going to need help after the storm as well,' Jindal said. 'This is not going to be done just after the storm makes landfall or even just after the storm leaves Louisiana.'

After reaching Louisiana late Tuesday evening, Hurricane Isaac moved back out to sea - only to return to Louisiana shores around 2 am. Isaac is slated to hit near Grand Isle, Louisiana, with winds of up to 100 mph, snapping trees and tearing down power lines.

Ed Rappaport, from the Hurricane Center, said Isaac's core would pass west of New Orleans with winds close to 80 mph and head for Baton Rouge.

‘On this course, the hurricane will gradually weaken,’ Rappaport said. He said gusts could reach about 100 mph at times, especially at higher levels, which could damage high-rise buildings in New Orleans.

But as Isaac neared the city, there was little fear or panic. With New Orleans' airport closed, tourists retreated to hotels and most denizens of a coastline that has witnessed countless hurricanes decided to ride out the storm.5.39.217.76' B4 T4 h- l5 o) W" H" X" `/ ^( G

'I feel safe," said Pamela Young, who was riding out the storm in the Lower 9th Ward in a new, two-story home built to replace the one destroyed by Katrina. 'If the wind isn't too rough, I can stay right here. If the water comes up, I can go upstairs.'

While far less powerful than Katrina, Isaac posed similar political challenges, a reminder of how the storm seven years ago became a symbol of government ignorance and ineptitude.

Political fallout was already simmering. Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal, who canceled his trip to the convention, said the Obama administration's disaster declaration fell short of the federal help he had requested, and asked for a promise to be reimbursed for storm preparation costs.

‘We learned from past experiences, you can't just wait. You've got to push the federal bureaucracy,’ Jindal said.

FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate said such requests would be addressed after the storm. Obama promised that Americans will help each other recover, ‘no matter what this storm brings.’5.39.217.76) i: \- C0 r# @% ~, K7 O

In Tampa, the storm's landfall did not appear to affect prime-time coverage or the Republican National Convention speeches. One of the few mentions of the storm came in the opening remarks by Ann Romney, wife of the Republican nominee.

‘Just so you all know, the hurricane has hit landfall and I think we should take this moment and recognize that fellow Americans are in its path and just hope and pray that all remain safe and no life is lost and no property is lost,’ she told the crowd.) c( ^6 T6 g7 X' A

Outside, though, the streets of downtown Tampa were eerily deserted, a result of nasty weather from Isaac's outer bands, tight securities that blocked off streets and a delay in convention events because of fears the storm might target that side of the Gulf.

And farther east along the Gulf, veterans of past hurricanes made sure to take precautions.8 A5 r0 r7 C- f  G. p

At a highway rest stop along Alabama's I-10, Bonnie Schertler, 54, of Waveland, Miss., said she left her coastal home for her father's place in Alabama ‘because of the clouds.'‘

'I just feel like the storm may stay for a few days and that wind might just pound and pound and pound and pound,’ said Schertler, whose former home in Waveland was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. A slow storm is more dangerous, she said, ''cause it can knock down just virtually everything if it just hovers forever.'

Other top Republicans are thinking about skipping out on the convention as Isaac approaches. Among them is Louisiana Gov Bobby Jindal, who earlier on Sunday declared a state of emergency for the Bayou State, and declared that he would not leave if it was hit by Isaac.

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley canceled his trip to the convention because of Isaac, and Florida Gov. Rick Scott also gave up his speaking engagement.

At the weekend, scattered power outages from Key West to Fort Lauderdale affected more than 6,000 people, and flooding occurred in low-lying areas.

Oil companies scrambled out of the path of Tropical Storm Isaac, withdrawing offshore workers and cutting oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricanes such as Katrina - which took out 4.5 million barrels per day of refining capacity at one point - have flooded refineries, keeping them closed for extended periods and reducing fuel supplies.

This time, though, the U.S. Department of Energy estimated that only 12 percent of the Gulf Coast's refining capacity had gone offline. Louisiana usually processes more than 3 million barrels per day of crude into products like gasoline.

美國颶風艾薩克（Isaac）於美國當地時間29日二次登陸路易斯安那州（Louisiana），上萬戶家庭停電且恐釀成嚴重水災，連墨西哥灣一帶的石油生產也受到影響。巧合的是，7年前同月同日同地也曾遭受颶風卡崔娜（Katrina）的重創，「末日前兆」之說隨之喧囂塵上。 ' ]0 q2 F/ X2 ]* O

在艾薩克來勢洶洶之際，有不少美國居民及網友回憶起7年前同月同日同地登陸的颶風卡崔娜；卡崔娜當時帶來強勁雨勢，引發海水倒灌、沖毀堤防，重創新紐奧良。如今彷彿舊事重演，政府當局與居民嚴加戒備，網友們對此則持「純屬巧合」與「末日前兆」兩派說法。5.39.217.762 w. c4 F6 o  \# V6 X9 ^0 U

席捲加勒比海各國和美國墨西哥灣北部沿岸地區的艾薩克（Isaac）目前仍停留在美國路易斯安那州，週三（8月29日）下午已從颶風降級為熱帶風暴。然而，艾薩克已給路易斯安那州和密西西比州沿海的許多低窪地帶造成嚴重的洪澇災害。另外，受波及的5個州約81萬多家庭斷電。官員說，停電可能持續數天。

密西西比州的比洛克西，警方正在叫停城市街道上行駛的車輛。並強制實施宵禁，解除宵禁時間未定。一位名叫Jackie Rhodes的官員說，在七年前的「卡翠娜」颶風在搶劫而被逮捕的人，目前仍在獄中服刑。

2005年8月，颶風卡翠娜（Katrina）以每小時233公里的風速給新奧爾良地區造成了嚴重破壞。造成1,800多人喪生。9月1日出現了無政府狀態的混亂局面，部份地區的搶劫之風越颳越猛。劫匪們公然大肆燒殺搶掠和強姦，又和警方槍戰。時任路易斯安那州州長布蘭科當天說，300名剛從伊拉克撤回的國民警衛隊隊員已經抵達新奧爾良市維護治安，並被授權隨時開槍擊斃暴徒。
