Ron DeSantis Says This Is What You Should Do If Your Power Goes Out As Florida Braces For Tropical Storm Debby
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) has expressed gratitude to utility linemen, both local and out-of-state, for their readiness to respond to Tropical Storm Debby.
佛罗里达州州长Ron DeSantis（R）感谢那些准备响应热带风暴Debby的本地和外州工作人员。
What Happened: On Tuesday, DeSantis took to X to appreciate the efforts of utility linemen who are prepared to work tirelessly to restore power in the wake of Tropical Storm Debby. He also advised residents on safety measures in case of power outages.
发生了什么：据报道，周二，州长DeSantis发推特赞赏准备在热带风暴Debby后不知疲倦地恢复电力的工作人员。他还告知居民在停电时要注意安全措施。
We appreciate all the utility linemen, from Florida and out-of-state, who are staged and ready to respond to Tropical Storm Debby. They will be working around the clock to restore your power quickly and safely as soon as weather conditions allow.
— Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) August 4, 2024
If your power goes out, stay...
我们感谢所有准备就绪，随时准备应对Debby热带风暴的本州和外州的工作人员。他们将不间断地工作，恢复电力的速度快而安全，尽快使天气条件允许。
— Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) 2024年8月4日
如果你的电力中断，保持...
The governor's tweet read, "If your power goes out, stay safe by running your portable generator outside at least 20 feet away from your home on a flat, dry surface."
州长的推文写道：“如果你的电力中断，请在至少距离你家20英尺，平坦，干燥的表面上在户外放置手提发电机以确保你的安全。”
Why It Matters: The governor's message comes as Florida braces for Tropical Storm Debby, which is expected to bring high winds and heavy rainfall, potentially causing power outages. North Carolina-headquartered Duke Energy Corp. (NYSE:DUK) has also urged customers to heed the warnings and instructions of emergency management officials and take necessary precautions.
Debby rapidly intensified into a hurricane before making landfall in Florida's Big Bend region, bringing historic rainfall to parts of the Southeast due to near-record warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico. Authorities in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina urged residents to prepare for heavy rain and possible flooding. Savannah, Georgia, and Charleston, South Carolina, faced a month's worth of rain in a single day, reported CNN.
为什么它很重要：随着佛罗里达州准备迎接Debby飓风，州长的信息来了，该地区预计会带来强风和暴雨，可能会造成电力中断。总部位于北卡罗来纳州的杜克能源公司（NYSE:DUK）已敦促客户注意紧急管理官员的警告和指示，并采取必要的预防措施。
Debby在登陆佛罗里达的Big Bend地区之前，迅速加强成飓风，并由于墨西哥湾近纪录的温暖水域而给东南部的部分地区带来了历史性的降雨。佛罗里达州、乔治亚州和南卡罗来纳州的有关部门敦促居民为大雨和可能的洪水做好准备。据CNN报道，乔治亚州的Savannah和南卡罗来纳州的Charleston在一天之内面临了一个月的降雨量。
By Sunday night, Debby had sustained winds of 70 mph and was 100 miles west of Tampa, Florida. The National Hurricane Center predicted significant strengthening before landfall, expecting Debby to reach Category 1 hurricane status with winds around 85 mph.
到周日晚上，Debby的持续风速为70英里/小时，距离佛罗里达坦帕市以西100英里。国家飓风中心预计在登陆之前会有显着的加强，预计Debby将达到1类飓风状态，风速约为85英里/小时。
The main threats were flooding from storm surges up to 10 feet and heavy rainfall. Evacuation orders were issued, and tropical storm warnings extended to parts of Florida, coastal Georgia, and South Carolina. DeSantis, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, and South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster declared states of emergency, with the Florida National Guard reportedly activated for assistance.
主要威胁来自风暴潮高达10英尺和暴雨。疏散命令已发布，热带风暴警告已扩展到佛罗里达、乔治亚沿海和南卡罗来纳州部分地区。DeSantis、乔治亚州州长Brian Kemp和南卡罗来纳州州长Henry McMaster宣布了紧急状态，佛罗里达州国民警卫队据报道已被激活以提供援助。
