How terrible is Hurricane Elma?
Recently, the super hurricane "Elma" is heading for Florida at full speed, and it is expected to exert its arrogance during the weekend. After the lessons of Hurricane Harvey, the local government and people have fought ahead of time, and as many as 650,000 people have been exhausted and evacuated ahead of time. Before it affected the United States, the Caribbean islands in the hurricane path had already suffered this disaster. "Elma" swept the West Indies, and Trump's mansion for sale was destroyed. Even celebrities have not been spared. A 1 1 bedroom mansion owned by US President Trump on the Caribbean island of Sint Maarten was destroyed by "Elma". At the same time, the mansion of Richard Branson, the British billionaire and president of Virgin Group, was not spared after necker Island was swept by Hurricane Elma.

It is reported that Trump has been trying to sell local properties with swimming pools and fitness centers. In order to sell as soon as possible, Trump reduced the listing price from $28 million in August to $65.438+06.9 million today. FX678 quoted foreign media as saying that French officials said that the four strongest buildings on the island were seriously damaged, which made it unlikely that Trump's house would be sold so easily. Similarly, Branson's son Sam posted the news that his father's house was destroyed on Instagram earlier this Thursday. But Branson himself still forced a smile in the face of the disaster, and he also warned other local people to take all precautions. He said that families can be rebuilt, but life can't. Nature once again reminds people of the impact of climate change. So everyone must do more to solve this problem. At present, "Elma" has proved to be the most powerful hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean. Many people in the Caribbean suffer from harsh environment. With the continuous expansion of the scale of damage, it is expected that the region will suffer huge financial losses. The region is very dependent on tourism, and it was reported that its important infrastructure was seriously damaged. It is reported that at least 10 people died. Barbuda island, which was first hit by a hurricane, was almost razed to the ground. Officials in Puerto Rico said that nearly 900,000 people will be without power supply, and the Puerto Rican Power Authority issued a shocking warning on Wednesday that some parts of the island may be without power supply for up to six months. The hurricane will sweep across Florida, and 650,000 people will flee in an unprecedented way. In the United States, Michael Hernandez, a spokesman for the Florida government, said that in the largest evacuation operation in history, more than 650,000 residents left Florida to take refuge in the mainland because of Hurricane Elma. Miami's downtown is deserted and almost a "ghost town"

At the same time, the number of vehicles in front of gas stations increased, which made the "oil shortage" that broke out after Hurricane Harvey hit worse. At present, the meteorological department has given the worst prediction. Unlike the long and narrow Florida Peninsula, which usually crosses from east to west like passers-by, "Elma" will make a 90-degree turn after landing directly in Miami metropolitan area at the southernmost tip of Florida, which means that the whole Florida will become the hardest hit area. Its disaster impact may exceed that of the previous Harvey.

I hope we can use scientific power to keep us away from natural disasters.
