CNN News:台风"莫拉菲"侵袭越南 飓风"泽塔"登陆路易斯安那州

The landfalls of two different storms in two different parts of the world headline today's show. I'm Carl Azuz. Welcome to everyone watching worldwide. We'll start in the Asian country of Vietnam.
Typhoon Molave struck its east coast on Wednesday. It was the equivalent of a Category 2 hurricane when it made landfall. Its wind speeds were just over 100 miles per hour. And Vietnam's prime minister expected it would affect a large part of his country as Molave carried heavy rain along with its dangerous winds.
October is part of Vietnam's rainy season but this has been a particularly destructive year. We told you exactly a week ago how excessive rains had caused deadly flooding and landslides in the country.
Typhoon Molave can make things worse, soaking areas that have already been inundated with rain. It's the fourth named storm system to make landfall in Vietnam this month. And on the other side of the Northern Hemisphere, the U.S. state of Louisiana is weathering its fifth named storm of this busy season.

Zeta was expected to make landfall on Wednesday afternoon as a Category 2 hurricane with wind speeds of around 100 miles per hour. And it was expected to bring rain to several states in the American southeast.
The silver lining to this particular system is that it was fast moving. That can get things over with faster in the areas it hits as opposed to slowly turning overhead and lashing them for hours with powerful wind and heavy rain.
Before it made landfall on Louisiana, Zeta had hit Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula as a Category 1 storm. Hurricane Zeta is named for a letter of the Greek alphabet. That's what meteorologists use with they run out of names on their annual list.
It follows Tropical Storms Cristobal and Marco and Hurricanes Laura and Delta to all make landfall in Louisiana this year. It's the first time that state has been hit by five named storms in the same season since record keeping began in 1851. And Hurricane Zeta tied two records set in 2005, one for the most named storms, there were 27 in each year and one for the most times a single state was hit in a storm season. Florida also saw five storms make landfall in 2005
