it was september. a hurricane attacked the town one night. plenty of trees were pushed over and all the electric and telephone lines were broken. people couldn’t watch tv, or call their friends, or go to work. to their anger, they couldn’t listen to the weather forecasts the town radio station broadcast. the food and fresh water would soon be short and the patients couldn’t be given medical care―no medicine could be carried there. people didn’t know what would happen and they looked anxious.
on the fourth day they read an announcement（通告）on the town weekly. it was written,“recently we have to stop the weather forecast because of the bad weather. we usually get the forecasts from the airport. but the roads are all blocked by the fallen trees and stones. whether or not we’ll be able to broadcast the weather forecast tomorrow depends on the weather！”

(2) happen为常用语，指事物或情况偶然或未能预见地发生，其后接不定式或用在it happened that...句型中，意为：恰好，碰巧，偶然。

damage指部分“损坏，破坏”之意，或指价值、用途降低或外表损坏等，在破坏程度上damage要小于destroy，损坏了还可修复。
destroy指“通过某种有力的或粗暴的手段使之彻底毁坏以至不能或很难修复”，有时用于比喻意义，表示希望、计划等被打破。如：
