介绍： As the sun rose on Thursday over Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, more than 2.5 million homes and businesses had no electricity.
That was just one of the effects of Hurricane Zeta following its landfall the day before and its race across the southeastern U.S. This was a very fast-moving system. In one way, that's good because it didn't sit too long over any one area lashing it for hours with wind and rain. In another way, it made the storm worse because it was able to carry its strength far inland.
Zeta made landfall in Cocodrie, Louisiana but 500 miles away Atlanta, Georgia was under a tropical storm warning for the first time in two years.
All along Zeta's path it left a trail of damage. At least three deaths were blamed on the storm and though Zeta was officially a Category 2 hurricane when it hit the Gulf Coast, its sustained wind speeds of 110 miles per hour put it right on the cusp of Category 3 status.

周四，路易斯安那州、密西西比州、阿拉巴马州和佐治亚州的太阳升起时，超过250万户家庭和企业断电。
这只是前一天登陆并横扫美国东南部地区的飓风“泽塔”所造成的影响之一。“泽塔”是移动非常快的系统。从某种程度上说，这是件好事，因为它不会在任何一个区域停留太久，不会对一个区域进行持续数小时的风雨冲击。另一方面，它使风暴变得更糟，因为它能够将力量带到遥远的内陆。
“泽塔”在路易斯安那州科科德里登陆，而在500英里外的佐治亚州亚特兰大市，两年来首次收到热带风暴警告。
“泽塔”在过境区域留下破坏踪迹。这场风暴造成至少三人死亡，虽然“泽塔”袭击墨西哥湾沿岸时的官方级别为2级飓风，但其持续风速达到每小时110英里，这相当于3级飓风的强度。
