Out of nowhere. A big storm heads for Texas and the watches on again. In living color. Never before seen film of England during the blitz(영국 대공습). A new look at history made 70 years ago this week. Nightly News begins now. It was known as the Blitz. The intense bombing of the Britain by Nazi Germany during World War II. It began 70 years ago tomorrow and went on for more than eight months. Most Americans have only seen that part of history in grainy black and white. But today a local London government agency released previously unseen color film.
A city in ruins. The scenes of devastation are familiar, but seeing them in color somehow makes them more vivid, more real. Color footage was still rare in September 1940. But here medics were filmed training for casualties and treating them in makeshift(임시의) medical centers. The wartime leader Winston Churchill reviewing civil defense workers in London’s Hyde Park as thousands of people cheered him on. And through it all, the city going about its business. Bombed out stores are open. Double Decker buses still running. Commuters heading to work keeping their chins up(불굴의).
The film was made by a local air raid warden(공습감시원) who was also an armature film maker and was recently uncovered in an attic(다락방) by his family giving us a glimpse back in time with a modern twist changing the way we see, an important piece of history after all these years. The London blitz began with 76 consecutive nights of bombing by Nazi planes. Thousands of civilians were killed, but the spirit of that city was never broken.
And now to yet another big storm making news. One that seemed to come out of nowhere in the last 24 hours. Hermine is headed for the Texas coast. The third tropical system to impact that area so far this year. The weather channel’s Mike Sadal joins me now from South Padre Island. Good evening, Mike. Good evening, Kate. This time yesterday, all was a cluster of thunderstorms down in the southern gulf of Mexico in the Bay of Camp Peach. And tonight we’re dealing with a season’s eighth tropical storm barreling down on(질주하다) the coast with 60 mile an hour winds.
Take a look at this radar lit up like a Christmas tree. Now the center is strolling(거닐다) just under about 100 mile southeast of where we are in South Padre just off the Mexican coast. It’s heading north, north west which will bring those bands in red to the coast this evening. Those red brands right containing the strongest winds in the blinding rains. Now before landfall, Hermine has a small chance of becoming a hurricane. So hurricane watches are up for this area.
