"Barely two weeks ago, Louisiana suffered a devastating blow when Hurricane Laura came ashore as the strongest hurricane ever to make landfall in Louisiana history, leaving a trail of destruction in its path," he said. "This, when combined with the COVID-19 pandemic, can make us all weary. I implore Louisianans to take their preparations seriously."
他说:“就在两个星期前，飓风劳拉登陆路易斯安那州时，路易斯安那州遭受了毁灭性的打击，这是路易斯安那州历史上登陆的最强飓风，沿途留下了一片废墟。”“这与COVID-19流行病结合起来，会让我们都感到疲倦。我恳请路易斯安那人认真对待他们的准备工作。”
