據氣象局說，颶風哈維的雨量是有史以來最大的

Flooding from Tropical Storm Harvey is overburdening resources as authorities in and around Houston scramble to save those trapped by the high waters.

熱帶風暴哈維帶來的洪水導致救援資源超負荷,同時休斯頓和周邊的政府在努力拯救被高水位困住的人們。

Hopes for an immediate respite from Harvey s wrath seem unlikely as the National Weather Service calls the flooding "unprecedented" and warns things may become more dire if a record-breaking 50 inches of rain falls on parts of Texas in coming days.

哈維損害性一時不太可能停止。美國國家氣象局稱這次的洪水是「史無前例的」。同時美國國家氣象局提出警告未來幾天創紀錄的50英寸的降雨如果落在德克薩斯州的部分地區的話，情況會變得更加緊迫。

The rainfall threatens to exacerbate an already dangerous situation, as Harvey s rains have left many east Texas rivers and bayous swollen to their banks or beyond.

哈維的降雨使許多德州東部河流的主支流都漲到河岸高度甚至更高,降雨會加劇已經危險的局勢。

"The breadth and intensity of this rainfall are beyond anything experienced before," the weather service said. "Catastrophic flooding is now underway and expected to continue for days.」

」這次降雨範圍的廣度和雨量超過以前我們遇到的任何一次，「國家氣象局說。「災難性的洪水已經形成，並且會持續多日。」

The storm killed two people in Texas, authorities said, and the death toll will likely rise. More than 1,000 people were rescued overnight, and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner warned that some 911 calls are going unanswered as operators "give preference to life-threatening calls.」

當局說,這場風暴在德克薩斯州造成兩人死亡,而且傷亡人數可能會上升。1000多人在一夜之間獲救,休斯頓市長Sylvester Turner警告說,由於話務員要"優先接聽威脅生命的電話",有些911求助電話可能得不到處理。
