【大紀元2019年03月06日訊】美國東南部3月3日下午遭強烈龍捲風襲擊,重創地區包括南卡羅來納州、佛州和喬治亞州部分地區,其中以阿拉巴馬州李縣(Lee County)遭到的破壞最嚴重,導致至少23人喪命,數十人受傷。當局表示,傷亡人數恐持續攀升。
總統川普5日表示,他將於本週五(3月8日)訪問阿拉巴馬州,並已親自指示聯邦緊急事務管理署(FEMA)給予最頂級支援。
綜合媒體報導,阿拉巴馬和喬治亞州3日下午遭到多個龍捲風侵襲,尤其拉巴馬州李縣更是在一小時內颳起至少兩次龍捲風,其中一個龍捲風風速高達274公里/小時,強度EF-4,足以摧毀結構完整的建築物。
截止5日,災情造成阿拉巴馬州至少23人死亡,數十人失蹤;成美國六年來最慘重的龍捲風災情。該州州長凱·伊弗(Kay Ivey)已向聯邦申請成為重災區,並致電總統請求提供救援,川普也保證會給予頂級「A+」的支援。
FEMA has been told directly by me to give the A Plus treatment to the Great State of Alabama and the wonderful people who have been so devastated by the Tornadoes. , one of the best in our Country, has been so informed. She is working closely with FEMA (and me!).

Just signed an expedited major disaster declaration request asking to approve our need for immediate assistance in Lee County. Earlier today, President Trump pledged his unwavering support for the folks of Alabama & assured me will be there to help.

伊弗(Kay Ivey)發推文提醒當地民眾,嚴峻的天氣型態還沒結束,州政府會想辦法幫助受災居民。
《伯明罕新聞報》(Birmingham News)引述當地電力單位信息說,這場風暴或使超過一萬人無電可用。#
