The U.S. Coast Guard and several other agencies rescued 66 people stranded on ice floes in a bay in northeastern Wisconsin.

美國海岸防衛隊和其他幾間機關救起了困滯在威斯康辛州東北部一處海灣浮冰上的66位民眾。

Ice boats and helicopters were used to bring the people who were ice fishing to safety Thursday in Door County. Three separate ice floes broke away after cracks developed between the shore and groups of people, the Coast Guard said.

破冰船和直升機週四出動，把原本正在多爾郡冰上釣魚的民眾帶到安全處。海岸防衛隊說，三塊不同的浮冰在海岸和好幾群民眾之間出現裂縫後分開。

High winds associated with an approaching winter storm pushed the floes further from shore. No one was injured.

隨冬季風暴逼近而來的強風，把浮冰進一步推離海岸。無人受傷。
