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.
佛羅里達州州長Ron DeSantis（R）感謝那些準備響應熱帶風暴Debby的本地和外州工作人員。
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.
發生了什麼：據報道，週二，州長DeSantis發推特讚賞準備在熱帶風暴Debby後不知疲倦地恢復電力的工作人員。他還告知居民在停電時要注意安全措施。
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...
我們感謝所有準備就緒，隨時準備應對Debby熱帶風暴的本州和外州的工作人員。他們將不間斷地工作，恢復電力的速度快而安全，儘快使天氣條件允許。

如果你的電力中斷，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."
州長的推文寫道：“如果你的電力中斷，請在至少距離你家20英尺，平坦，乾燥的表面上在戶外放置手提發電機以確保你的安全。”
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.
爲什麼它很重要：隨着佛羅里達州準備迎接Debby颶風，州長的信息來了，該地區預計會帶來強風和暴雨，可能會造成電力中斷。總部位於北卡羅來納州的杜克能源公司（NYSE:DUK）已敦促客戶注意緊急管理官員的警告和指示，並採取必要的預防措施。
Debby在登陸佛羅里達的Big Bend地區之前，迅速加強成颶風，並由於墨西哥灣近紀錄的溫暖水域而給東南部的部分地區帶來了歷史性的降雨。佛羅里達州、喬治亞州和南卡羅來納州的有關部門敦促居民爲大雨和可能的洪水做好準備。據CNN報道，喬治亞州的Savannah和南卡羅來納州的Charleston在一天之內面臨了一個月的降雨量。
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.
到週日晚上，Debby的持續風速爲70英里/小時，距離佛羅里達坦帕市以西100英里。國家颶風中心預計在登陸之前會有顯着的加強，預計Debby將達到1類颶風狀態，風速約爲85英里/小時。
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.
主要威脅來自風暴潮高達10英尺和暴雨。疏散命令已發佈，熱帶風暴警告已擴展到佛羅里達、喬治亞沿海和南卡羅來納州部分地區。DeSantis、喬治亞州州長Brian Kemp和南卡羅來納州州長Henry McMaster宣佈了緊急狀態，佛羅里達州國民警衛隊據報道已被激活以提供援助。
