урагана. Хьюстон
выглядит как
Новый Орлеан
в 2005-м. Разрушен
мжн Центр
управления
полётами (NASA) и
все дороги;
нет света,
воды,
продуктов.
Яхты
миллиардеров
сдуты и
опрокинуты
как бумажные
кораблики. В
Гальвестоне
не осталось
ни одного
дома. В
Заливе разрушено
50 платформ и
несколько
вышек, вся
нефтепереработка
Техаса
закрыта.
Жители
Техаса и
Луизианы в
состоянии
глубокого
шока и
потрясения.
Жертвы
замалчиваются:
под завалами
их может быть
сотни и тысячи.
Только в
одном
Гальвестоне
не эвакуировались
десятки
тысяч человек,
и сотни
городов в США
пострадали
от этого урагана.
