Amagosa aseFlorida athi achonge malunga neshumi elinambini lokufa okunokuthi kunxulumene nesiqhwithi kwaye balindele ukufa okungaphezulu njengoko umonakalo uvavanyiwe. Iintatheli zethu zilapha.
Phantse iiyure ezingama-48 emva kokutshabalalisa unxweme olusemazantsi-ntshona eFlorida, uYan waqalisa uqhankqalazo olubuthathaka kakhulu ngokuchasene noMzantsi Carolina ngoLwesihlanu. Isaqhwithi senza umhlaba njengeNkanyamba ye-1 enomoya onamandla kunye nemvula enkulu, kodwa iingxelo zomonakalo wokuqala zazingekho zonke ezimbi. EFlorida, amagosa athi ubuncinci ukusweleka kwe-30 kunokunxulunyaniswa nesiphango kwaye elo nani kulindeleke ukuba lenyuke.
I-Yang ayizange iphinde ithathelwe ingqalelo njengesaqhwithi setropiki malunga neeyure ezine emva kokuba sifike eGeorgetown, eMzantsi Carolina phakathi kweCharleston kunye neMyrtle Beach. Kodwa iNational Hurricane Centre yathi isenokubangela imimoya eyingozi kunye nezikhukula.
I-Fort Myers Beach, kumazantsi-ntshona eFlorida, ibe nzima kakhulu ngoLwesithathu, utshilo uRhuluneli uRon DeSantis. Ezinye izindlu zatshatyalaliswa.
Uqhanqalazo lwaqhambuka kulo lonke elaseCuba njengoko abemi abanxungupheleyo bafuna ukuba urhulumente abuyisele umbane kwaye athumele uncedo kwiindawo ezonakaliswe yiYan kule veki.
NgoLwesihlanu ngokuhlwa, malunga ne-1.4 yezigidi zabathengi babengenawo amandla eFlorida, kwaye malunga ne-566,000 abantu babengenawo amandla eCarolinas naseVirginia.
Inani labantu ababhubhileyo kwiNkanyamba u-Ian eFlorida linokuthatha iiveki ukuba libonakale, kodwa ibhodi yezonyango karhulumente ichaze ukubhubha kokuqala okuqinisekisiweyo ngoLwesihlanu ebusuku.
Izidumbu zabantu abangamashumi amabini anesithathu abaneminyaka engama-22 ukuya kwamashumi alithoba anesibini (92) ziqinisekise ukuba uninzi lwabo lurhaxwe. Le mizimba ifunyenwe ilayishwe emotweni yabo, idada kumanzi ezikhukula kwaye yarhaxwa elunxwemeni. Inkoliso yamaxhoba yayingaphezu kweminyaka engama-60 ubudala, i-10 yayingaphezu kweminyaka engama-70 ubudala. Iminyaka yobudala yamaxhoba amathathu awaziwa.
Uninzi lwababhubhileyo lwenzeke eLee County, elikhaya leFort Myers, iCape Coral kunye neSanibel Island.
Abantu abane babhubhele eVolusia County, apho iDaytona Beach ikhona. Ngesinye isihlandlo, yayiphathelele ibhinqa elalibonakala likhukuliswa ngamaza elwandle.
Ukongeza kokutshona emanzini, indoda eneminyaka engama-38 ubudala eLake County yasweleka ngoLwesithathu xa imoto yayo yabhukuqa. Indoda eneminyaka engama-71 ubudala yawa eluphahleni ngelixa ifaka izivalo zemvula eSarasota County ngoLwesibini. NgoLwesihlanu, inkosikazi eneminyaka engamashumi amabini anesibini (22) ubudala yaseManatee County yabhubha xa inqwelo-mafutha ebihamba ngeendlela zonke ibhukuqa kwindlela ezele zizikhukula.
Amagosa aqaphela ukuba izibalo zisisiqalo nje. "Silindele ukuba eli nani likhule," kusho uDavid Fierro, umququzeleli wobudlelwane boluntu kwiSebe lezoMthetho waseFlorida.
I-US Coast Guard ithe ihlangule abantu abangama-325 kunye nezilwanyana zasekhaya ezingama-83 ukusukela ngentsimbi yesi-6 ngokuhlwa ngolwesiHlanu kwaye yanceda abaphenduli bokuqala abavela kwezinye ii-arhente ngoncedo lwezonyango. Umlindi woNxweme uthe kwakhona ukuhambisa iimpahla kwabo basweleyo.
USteve, uSteve Cohen, kunye noSteve Cohen bafika ngequbuliso eMzantsi Carolina bevela eDallas befuna ukubaleka ngokukhawuleza. Kodwa ngolwesiHlanu, bazilile ngenxa yenkxwaleko ejikeleze ikhaya labo lamanzi eLichfield Beach, eSouth Carolina, kude kufuphi nalapho u-Ian wayefike khona ngoLwesihlanu. Ekubeni amanzi olwandle ekhukula i-railing yeenyawo ezisixhenxe ngaphezu komhlaba, banomgaqo omtsha weenkanyamba. “Siyixoxile,” utshilo uSteve Cohen. "Nantoni na engaphezulu kwe-1, yilibale. Siza kubuya xa sele iphelile.”
Isithethi seSebe lezoLawulo lwezoNgxamiseko laseNorth Carolina sathi ukusukela ngolwesiHlanu ngokuhlwa, eyona ngxaki inkulu kukumka kombane. "Siye saba malunga ne-20,000 yokucima ngo-2pm namhlanje kwaye ngoku sisondela ekuphumeni kwe-300,000," utshilo u-Keith Akri. “Ngumdibaniso nje womoya nemvula, imithi emininzi iphantsi,” watsho, isantya somoya kufuneka sehle ngaphantsi kwe-30 mph phambi kokuba kuqale ukulungiswa.
FORT MYERS, eFlorida. Izilumkiso zababikezeli ziye zangxamiseka ngakumbi njengoko iNkanyamba u-Ian ibetha unxweme olusentshona yeFlorida kule veki. Uqhwithela olusongela ubomi lwasongela ukukhukulisa ummandla wonke ukusuka eTampa ukuya eFort Myers.
Kodwa ngelixa amagosa kulo lonke unxweme ayalela ukuba abantu baphume ngoMvulo, abaphathi bexesha likaxakeka eLee County bawulibazisa umsebenzi ngelixa bethatha isigqibo sokuba bavumele abantu ukuba babaleke emini, kodwa bagqiba ekubeni babone ukuba uqikelelo lutshintshe njani ebusuku.
Kwiintsuku ezingaphambi kokuba iNkanyamba uYang ifike, ababikezeli baxela kwangaphambili ukuba kuza kubakho isaqhwithi esinamandla kunxweme lwaseFlorida. Ngaphandle kwezilumkiso, amagosa e-Lee County akhuphe umyalelo wokufuduka emva kosuku kunamanye amabala onxweme.
Ulibaziseko, ngokwaphulwa okucacileyo kwesicwangciso sokufuduka esilumkileyo selizwe kwiimeko ezinjalo, kunokuba neziphumo ezibi ezisaxhalabisayo njengoko inani lokufa liqhubeka nokunyuka.
Ininzi yabantu ibhubhile kurhulumente njengoko uYang, ethotywe kwisitshingitshane sasemva kwetropiki, waqhuba eNorth Carolina naseVirginia ngoMgqibelo, ekhupha phantse abathengi bombane abangama-400,000 kula mazwe ngaxeshanye, amagosa athi.
Phantse abantu abangama-35 bafa kwinkanyamba yelizwe e-Lee County, njengoko abasindileyo bachaza ukunyuka kwamanzi ngokukhawuleza - into eyenziwa yi-National Hurricane Service eyayiqikelele iintsuku ngaphambi kokuba inkanyamba ihlasele - ibangela ukuba abanye babo bahlasele kwii-attics ukuze bakhuseleke. kunye nophahla.
I-Lee County, ebandakanya unxweme olunzima lwe-Fort Myers Beach, kunye nezixeko zase-Fort Myers, i-Sanibel kunye ne-Cape Coral, kwafuneka kude kube ngoLwesibini kusasa ukuba ikhuphe umyalelo wokufuduka okunyanzelekileyo kwiindawo ezinokuthi zibe nzima kakhulu. yayalela ukuba abona bemi bayo basesichengeni babaleke.
Ngelo xesha, abanye abahlali bakhumbula, babenexesha elincinane lokufuduka. UDana Ferguson, 33, i-paramedic yaseFort Myers, uthe wayesemsebenzini xa umyalezo wokuqala uvela kwifowuni yakhe kusasa ngoLwesibini. Ekufikeni kwakhe ekhaya, kwakusele kusemva kwexesha ukuba angayifumani indawo yokuya, ngoko wangqengqa waza walinda nomyeni wakhe nabantwana bakhe abathathu njengoko udonga lwamanzi lwaluqalisa ukunyuka kummandla waseFort Myers, kuquka imimandla ethile ekude nezikhukhula. amanzi. unxweme.
UNksz Ferguson uthe yena nosapho lwakhe babalekela kumgangatho wesibini xa amanzi enyuka kwigumbi labo lokuhlala, erhuqa ijenereyitha nokutya okomileyo. Intombazana eneminyaka emi-6 ubudala yalila.
Umkomishinala we-Lee County kunye nowayesakuba nguSodolophu waseSanibel uKevin Ruan uthe i-county ilibazise umyalelo wokufuduka kwabantu abaninzi ngenxa yokuba imodeli yangaphambili yenkanyamba yayibonisa ukuba isaqhwithi sasihambela ngasentla.
URhuluneli uRon DeSantis kunye nomlawuli wakhe welizwe leempendulo zikaxakeka nabo bathi izibikezelo zangaphambili zaxela kwangaphambili ukuba eyona nto iphambili yesiqhwithi iya kubetha emantla.
"Esinye isiqhwithi esihlasela enyakatho yeFlorida siya kuba neempembelelo zepheripheral kwindawo yakho, kwaye esinye isiqhwithi siya kuba neempembelelo zangoku," utshilo uMnu DeSantis kwinkomfa yeendaba eLee County ngoLwesihlanu. "Ke into endiyibonayo kuMazantsi-ntshona eFlorida kukuba benza ngokukhawuleza xa idatha itshintsha."
Kodwa ngelixa umkhondo weNkanyamba u-Ian wawusingise kwiintsuku ze-Lee County ngaphambi kokufika komhlaba, umngcipheko wokubaleka kwi-Lee County-nangakumbi emantla-wabonakala kwangoko ngeCawa ebusuku.
Ngelo xesha, imifuziselo eveliswe yiNational Hurricane Centre yabonisa ukuba uqhwithela lwesiphango lunokugubungela ubuninzi beCape Coral kunye neFort Myers. Nakule meko, iinxalenye zeFort Myers Beach zinamathuba angama-40 eepesenti ze-6-foot foot surge, ngokutsho koqikelelo lwesaqhwithi.
Uxwebhu lokucwangcisa olungalindelekanga lwe-Lee County luchaze isicwangciso sokuquleka siphawula ukuba uninzi lwabemi bommandla kunye nothungelwano lwendlela olunyiniweyo lwenza kube nzima ukuphuma ngokukhawuleza kwidolophu. Emva kweminyaka yokusebenza, i-county iphuhlise indlela yokunciphisa ukufuduka ngokusekelwe kukuzithemba kumngcipheko. “Iziganeko ezimandundu zinokufuna ukuba izigqibo zenziwe ngenkcazelo encinane okanye ingabikho kwaphela,” litsho eli xwebhu.
ISicwangciso seNgingqi sincoma ukukhutshwa kokuqala nangona kukho ipesenti ze-10 ithuba lokuba isivunguvungu somoya siya kudlula iinyawo ze-6 ngaphezu komhlaba; kukwafuna ukufuduswa ukuba kukho ithuba lepesenti ezingama-60 lokunyuka kwesaqhwithi esineenyawo ezintathu, ngokusekwe kwisikali sokutyibilika.
Ukongeza kuqikelelo lwangoMgqibelo ebusuku, uhlaziyo lwangoMvulo lulumkise malunga ne-10 ukuya kwi-40 yeepesenti ithuba lokuvuthuza kwesaqhwithi ngaphezu kweenyawo ze-6 kwiindawo ezininzi ze-Cape Coral kunye ne-Fort Myers, kunye neendawo ezithile ezinokuthi zibe namava angaphezu kwe-9 yeenyawo zesiphango.
Kwiiyure nje ezimbalwa ngoMvulo, imimandla yasePinellas, i-Hillsborough, iManatee, iSarasota, kunye ne-Charlotte yakhupha imiyalelo yokufuduka, kunye neNqila yaseSarasota ibhengeza ukuba umyalelo wokufuduka wawuzoqala ukusebenza ngentsasa elandelayo. Nangona kunjalo, amagosa e-Lee County athi alindele uvavanyo olufike ngexesha ngentsasa elandelayo.
"Emva kokuba siqonde kakuhle zonke ezi ntshukumo, siya kuba nokuqonda okungcono ukuba zeziphi iindawo esinokuzifuna ukuba siphume kwaye kwangaxeshanye sinqume ukuba zeziphi iindawo zokuhlala eziya kuvulwa," uMphathi weNgingqi uLee Roger uthe ngoMvulo emva kwemini. Desjarlet. .
Kodwa ababikezeli kwiZiko leSizwe leNkanyamba baya belumkisa ngakumbi malunga nommandla. Kuhlaziyo lwe-5: 00 pm ngoMvulo, babhala ukuba indawo esemngciphekweni omkhulu "wesivunguvungu esisongela ubomi" sisuka eFort Myers ukuya eTampa Bay.
“Abahlali kwezi ndawo kufuneka badibane nabasemagunyeni,” labhala eli ziko lenkanyamba. Iimodeli ezintsha zibonisa ukuba ezinye iindawo ezikufutshane neelwandle zaseFort Myers zinokuba namava angama-6 eenyawo.
Enye yeengxaki ezijongene nesi sithili kukuba izikolo zasekuhlaleni ziyilwe njengeendawo zokuhlala kwaye ibhodi yesikolo yagqiba ekubeni ingasebenzi ngoMvulo, utshilo umphathi wesithili uMnu Rune.
Ngentsasa elandelayo, ngo-7 ekuseni ngoLwesibili, uMnumzana Desjarlais wachaza ukukhutshwa kwenxalenye, kodwa wagxininisa ukuba "ummandla okhutshiweyo wawuncinci" xa kuthelekiswa nokukhutshwa kwangaphambili ngenxa yesiphepho.
I-county ilibazise ukufuduka okungaphezulu nangona uqikelelo lubonisa ukuthontelana okunokwenzeka kwiindawo ezingabandakanywanga ngumyalelo. Amagosa andise imiyalelo yawo yokufuduka kamva kusasa.
Emini, iingcebiso zamagosa e-Lee County ziye zafumana amandla: "Ixesha lokuphuma, iifestile zivaliwe," babhala kwiposti ye-Facebook.
U-Katherine Morong, oneminyaka engama-32, uthe uzilungiselele kwangoko evekini ukukhupha isaqhwithi ngokusekwe kwisikhokelo esivela kwabasemagunyeni. Uthi wothuswe ngumyalelo wokufuduka ngesiquphe ngentsasa yangoLwesibini njengoko wayesiya emvuleni.
“Idolophu inokusebenza ngakumbi kwaye isinike ixesha elingakumbi lokuphuma,” utshilo. Uthe wayeqhuba kwimvula eyayigalela ngamandla esendleleni ekwimpuma yelizwe kwaye kukho inkanyamba ekufutshane.
UJoe Brosso, oneminyaka engama-65, uthe akafumananga saziso sokuphuma. Uthe uthathele ingqalelo ukunduluka njengoko uqhwithela luqale ngentsasa yangoLwesithathu, kodwa waqonda ukuba selidlulile ixesha.
Wathabatha umfazi wakhe oneminyaka engama-70 ubudala kunye nenja yakhe phezulu kwizinyuko ukuya kumgangatho ongaphantsi kwigaraji yakhe. Weza nezixhobo zokusebenza ukuba kunokwenzeka abaleke ngophahla.
“Kumbi kakhulu,” utshilo uMnu. Brosso. “Yayiyeyona nto yoyikekayo. Ukuzama ukunyusa le nja kunye nomfazi wam kwizinyuko ezikumgangatho ongaphantsi. Emva koko uchithe iiyure ezintandathu apho. ”
Abanye abahlali bathi balubonile uqikelelo lwengqikelelo kodwa bakhetha ukuhlala ekhaya - amagqala oqhwithela oluninzi oludlulileyo oluthe uqikelelo olubi lungazange lube yinyaniso.
“Abantu baxelelwe, baxelelwe ngeengozi, kwaye abanye bathathe isigqibo sokuba abafuni ukuhamba,” utshilo uMnu. DeSantis ngoLwesihlanu.
UJoe Santini, umncedisi wezonyango osele esidla umhlala phantsi, uthe akazukulishiya ikhaya lakhe nangona umyalelo wokufuduka wawunikiwe ngaphambi kwesaqhwithi. Uthe sele ehleli kwindawo yaseFort Myers ixesha elininzi lobomi bakhe kwaye akayazi enye indawo anokuya kuyo.
Amanzi agxalathelana ukungena endlwini yakhe ngorhatya lwangoLwesithathu kwaye wayesele emalunga nemitha enye ukusuka emhlabeni ngoLwesihlanu – nto leyo eyamothusayo uMnumzana Santini. “Andiqondi ukuba wakha wacaphuka ngolu hlobo,” watsho.
I-Lee County ngoku sesona siganeko siphambili kule ntlekele, ngomonakalo omkhulu e-Fort Myers Beach, ukuwa kweSanibel Road, kunye neendawo ezichithakeleyo. Amaziko engingqi acebisa abahlali ukuba babilise amanzi ngenxa yokonakala kwemibhobho yamanzi.
