美国自上周起遭遇冬季风暴侵袭,大量的积雪和降雨也给中西部的几个州带来了历史性的洪水,目前已经导致3人死亡,数千人被迫撤离。美国的这次洪灾有多严重?美媒介绍称,内布拉斯加州的奥夫特空军基地有三分之一被汹涌的洪水淹没,通过卫星图像更可以直观了解到此次灾害造成了多大影响。
综合路透社、美国《奥马哈世界先驱报》等媒体18日消息,洪水已经导致内布拉斯加州和爱荷华州共有3人死亡,这两个州也都宣布进入紧急状态。值得一提的是,位于内布拉斯加州的奥夫特空军基地也受到了不小的影响,来自密苏里河的洪水导致基地有三分之一都被淹没。
美国空军第55飞行编队的发言人介绍称,该编队原本还不间断的准备沙袋抵抗此次洪灾,但因洪水涨得太快,他们随后不得不作罢。“我们继续努力也会失败,所以放弃了,”发言人布雷克(Rachelle Blake)称。

There are only a few planes in time to evacuate before the flood arrives, many must move to the highest areas to avoid damage. pic.twitter.com/uE0VxQDd4Z
