Mother Nature Shows Her Strength

Tornadoes（龙卷风）and heavy thunderstorms moved across the Great Lakes and into Trumbull County
on Saturday evening.The storms were dramatic and dangerous.
George Snyder was driving the fire truck down Route 88 when he first noticed that a funnel（漏斗状的）
cloud was behind him."I stopped the truck and watched the funnel cloud.It was about 100 feet off the
ground and I saw it go up and down for a while.It was moving toward Bradley Road and then suddenly it
disappeared,"Snyder said.
Snyder only saw one of the funnel clouds that passed through northeastern Ohio on Saturday.In
Trumbull County,a tornado turned trees onto their sides.Some trees fell onto houses and cars.Other trees fell
onto telephone and electrical wires as thev went down.
Amanda Symcheck was having a party when the storm began."I knew something was wrong,"she said.
"I saw the sky go green and pink.Then it sounded like a train rushing toward the house.I started crying and
told everyone to go to the basement for protection."
The tornado caused a lot of damage to cars and houses in the area. It will take a long time and much
money to repair everything.There was also serious water damage from the thunderstorms.The heavy rains and
high wind caused the power to go out in many homes.
The storms caused serious flooding in areas near the river. More than four inches of rain fell in parts of
Trumbull County.The river was so high that the water ran into streets and houses.Many streets had to be
closed to cars and trucks because of the high water. This made it difficult for fire trucks,police cars,and
other rescue vehicles to help people who were in trouble.
Many people who live near the river had to leave their homes for their own safety.Some people reported
five feet of water in their homes.Local and state officials opened emergency shelters for the people who were
evacuated（撤走）.The Red Cross served meals to them.
"This was a really intense storm,"said Snyder,"People were afraid.Mother Nature can be fierce.We
were lucky this time.No one was killed."

Storms Sink Ships

Rescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in two ferry disasters in
Bangladesh.The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21.
Hundreds more are missing or feared dead.
The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhaka as strong winds and
rain hit the South Asian country.
The government has since banned all ferries and other boats from travelling at night
during the April-May stormy season.
One of the ferries,MV Mitali,was carrying far more people than it was supposed to.
About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300,police said.The second ferry
carried about 100 passengers.
"The number of deaths is certain to rise,"said an official in charge of the rescue work.
"No one really knows how many people were on board the ferry or how many of them
survived."
Ferries in Bangladesh don't always keep passenger lists,making it difficult to determine
the exact number of people on board.
Besides the ferry accidents,at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning
strikes,falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats.
Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh,as are boating accidents.Ferry
disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people.
Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures,too many passengers
in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions.
Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh.It is a country covered by
about 230 rivers.Some 20, 000 ferries use the nation's waterways（水路）every year.
And many of them are dangerously overcrowded（过度拥挤）.
Since 1977,more than 3,000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents.

The two ferry disasters occurred
A:at noon.
B:in the morning.
C:at night.
D:in the afternoon.
