【解析】试题分析：
本文讲述了飓风“汉纳”对德克萨斯州产生的影响。
1.C细节理解题。
根据第一段TheworstthingisthatHanna'sdestructiveforcenearlywipedoutmostpowerpolesandpowerlines.可知，飓风“汉纳”造成的最大破坏是电力设施被严重摧毁，故选C项。
2.D推理判断题。

由此对比可知，休斯敦的居民比加尔维斯顿的受灾情况轻，故选D
3.B推理判断理。
由第一段飓风发生的时间“October21”和第二段的“ParentsareregisteringkidsinotherareaschoolswhicharescheduledtobeginclassonNovember13.”，计算31－21＋13＝23天，休斯顿其他地区的孩子将在家至少待3个星期，故选B。
4.D细节理解题。
由最后一段的“There,shereunitedwithFloresafter30longyears！
”可知，Paula和她的家人把这场飓风看作赐福的原因是Paula和她失散三十年之久的继母重新团聚。
