Izikhulu zaseFlorida zithe zithole cishe abantu abathathu abashonile okungenzeka ukuthi zihlobene nalesi siphepho futhi balindele ukufa kwabantu abaningi njengoba kuhlolwa umonakalo. Izintatheli zethu zikhona.
Cishe amahora angama-48 ngemuva kokucekela phansi ugu oluseningizimu-ntshonalanga yeFlorida, uYan wethule isiteleka esibuthakathaka kakhulu ngokumelene neSouth Carolina ngoLwesihlanu. Isiphepho senzeka njengesiphepho seSigaba 1 esinemimoya enamandla nemvula enamandla, kodwa imibiko yomonakalo yasekuqaleni ibingemibi kangako. EFlorida, izikhulu zithe okungenani abantu abangu-30 bashonile ngenxa yesiphepho kanti kulindeleke ukuthi lelo nani lenyuke.
U-Yang akabange esathathwa njengesiphepho esishisayo cishe amahora amane ngemuva kokufika eGeorgetown, eNingizimu Carolina phakathi kweCharleston neMyrtle Beach. Kodwa iNational Hurricane Centre ithe isengadala imimoya enamandla nezikhukhula eziyingozi.
I-Fort Myers Beach, eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeFlorida, ishayeke kakhulu ngoLwesithathu, kusho uGov. Ron DeSantis. “Ezinye izindlu zacekelwa phansi.”
Kuqubuke imibhikisho kulo lonke elaseCuba njengoba izakhamuzi eziphelelwe yithemba zifuna uhulumeni abuyisele ugesi futhi athumele nosizo ezindaweni ezicekelwe phansi yiYan kuleli sonto.
Kusukela ngoLwesihlanu kusihlwa, cishe amakhasimende ayizigidi eziyi-1.4 abengenawo amandla eFlorida, futhi abantu ababalelwa ku-566,000 babengenawo amandla eCarolinas naseVirginia.
Isibalo sabashonile eSiphepho u-Ian eFlorida singase sithathe amasonto ukuthi sibonakale, kodwa ibhodi lezempilo libike ukuthi kushone okokuqala okuqinisekisiwe ngoLwesihlanu ebusuku.
Ukuhlolwa kwezidumbu zabantu abangu-23 abaneminyaka engu-22 kuya ku-92 kuqinisekisile ukuthi iningi labo ligwilizile. Izidumbu zitholwe zilayishwe emotweni yabo, zintanta emanzini ezikhukhula zaminza olwandle. Iningi lezisulu lalineminyaka engaphezu kuka-60, eziyishumi zazingaphezu kweminyaka engu-70. Iminyaka yezisulu ezintathu akwaziwa.
Iningi lokufa lenzeke e-Lee County, okuyikhaya leFort Myers, iCape Coral kanye neSanibel Island.
Kuphinde kwashona abantu abane eVolusia County, lapho i-Daytona Beach ikhona. Kwesinye isigameko, kwakungowesifazane owayebonakala ekhukhulwa igagasi olwandle.
Ngaphandle kokuminza, indoda eneminyaka engu-38 ubudala yaseLake County ishone ngoLwesithathu ngesikhathi imoto yayo igingqika. Indoda eneminyaka engu-71 ubudala iwele ophahleni ngesikhathi ifaka izivalo zemvula eSarasota County ngoLwesibili. NgoLwesihlanu, kushone owesifazane oneminyaka engu-22 ubudala waseManatee County ngesikhathi imoto ebihamba yonke igingqika emgwaqeni ogcwele amanzi.
Izikhulu ziphawula ukuthi izibalo ziyisiqalo nje. "Silindele ukuthi lesi sibalo sikhule," kusho uDavid Fierro, umxhumanisi wezobudlelwano bomphakathi eMnyangweni Wezokugcinwa Komthetho waseFlorida.
I-US Coast Guard ithe isihlenge abantu abangama-325 nezilwane ezifuywayo ezingama-83 kusukela ngo-6 pm ngoLwesihlanu futhi isize abaphenduli bokuqala abavela kwezinye izinhlangano ngosizo lwezokwelapha. I-Coast Guard ithe iphinde iletha izimpahla kulabo abadinga usizo.
USteve, uSteve Cohen, noSteve Cohen batheleka kungazelelwe eSouth Carolina bevela eDallas befuna ukubaleka ngokushesha. Kepha ngoLwesihlanu, bakhale ngomonakalo ozungeze ikhaya labo elingasemanzini eLichfield Beach, eSouth Carolina, bude buduze nalapho u-Ian efike khona ngoLwesihlanu. Njengoba amanzi olwandle ekhukhula umzila wamamitha angu-7 ngaphezu komhlaba, banomthetho omusha wesithupha weziphepho. "Sixoxile," kusho uSteve Cohen. “Noma yini engaphezulu kuka-1, khohlwa. Sizobuya uma sekuphelile.”
Umkhulumeli woMnyango Wezokuphathwa Kwezimo Eziphuthumayo eNorth Carolina uthe kusukela ngoLwesihlanu kusihlwa, inkinga enkulu ukunqamuka kukagesi okukhulu. "Sibe nezinkinga ezibalelwa ku-20,000 ngehora lesibili ntambama namuhla kanti manje sesisondele ku-300,000," kusho umkhulumeli uKeith Akri. “Kuyinhlanganisela yomoya nemvula, izihlahla eziningi ziphansi,” esho, isivinini somoya sidinga ukwehla ngaphansi kuka-30 mph ngaphambi kokuthi kuqale ukulungiswa.
FORT MYERS, Florida. Izixwayiso zababikezeli seziyaphuthuma njengoba iSiphepho u-Ian sihlasela ugu olusentshonalanga yeFlorida kuleli sonto. Isiphepho esisongela ukuphila sasongela ukukhukhula yonke indawo ukusuka eTampa kuya eFort Myers.
Kepha ngenkathi izikhulu kulo lonke ugu lolwandle ziyalele ukuthi kuphume abantu ngoMsombuluko, abaphathi bezimo eziphuthumayo e-Lee County babambezele umsebenzi ngesikhathi bethatha isinqumo sokuthi bayabavumela yini abantu ukuthi bagijime emini, kodwa base benquma ukubona ukuthi isibikezelo sishintshe kanjani ebusuku.
Ezinsukwini ngaphambi kokuba iSiphepho uYang sihlasele, ababikezeli babikezela ukuthi kuzoba nesiphepho esinamandla ogwini lwaseFlorida. Naphezu kwezixwayiso, izikhulu ze-Lee County zikhiphe umyalelo wokuphuma ngemva kosuku kunezinye izifunda ezisogwini.
Ukubambezeleka, okwephula ngokusobala isu lesifunda lokuphuma ngokuqapha ezimweni eziphuthumayo ezinjalo, bekungaba nemiphumela eyinhlekelele namanje ekhathazayo njengoba inani lokufa liqhubeka nokukhuphuka.
Inqwaba yabantu ishonile esifundazweni njengoba uYang, owiswe yisiphepho sangemva kwemvula, edlula eNorth Carolina naseVirginia ngoMgqibelo, ekhipha amakhasimende acishe abe ngu-400,000 kagesi kulezo zifundazwe ngesinye isikhathi, kusho izikhulu.
Cishe abantu abangu-35 bashona esiphephweni esiyingozi kunazo zonke esifundazweni e-Lee County, njengoba abasindile bechaza ukuqubuka kwamanzi kungazelelwe - into iNational Hurricane Service eyayiyibikezele ezinsukwini ngaphambi kokuba kuhlasele isiphepho - okubangele ukuthi abanye babo bangene endlini engaphansi ukuze baphephe. nophahla.
I-Lee County, ehlanganisa ugu olushayeke kakhulu i-Fort Myers Beach, kanye namadolobha ase-Fort Myers, i-Sanibel ne-Cape Coral, ithole kuze kube ngoLwesibili ekuseni ukuthi ikhiphe umyalelo wokuphuma okuyimpoqo ezindaweni ezingase zibe nzima kakhulu. wayala izakhamuzi zakhona ezisengozini enkulu ukuba zibaleke.
Ngaleso sikhathi, ezinye izakhamuzi zakhumbula, zazinesikhathi esincane sokuphuma. UDana Ferguson, 33, obesebenza ezimo eziphuthumayo eFort Myers, uthe ubesemsebenzini ngesikhathi kuvela umyalezo wokuqala ocingweni lwakhe ngoLwesibili ekuseni. Lapho efika ekhaya, kwase kwephuze kakhulu ukuthola indawo, ngakho waqoshama walinda nomyeni wakhe nezingane ezintathu njengoba udonga lwamanzi lwaluqala ukukhuphuka endaweni yaseFort Myers, kuhlanganise nezindawo ezikude nezikhukhula. amanzi. ugu.
UNksz Ferguson uthe yena nomndeni wakhe babalekela esitezi sesibili ngesikhathi amanzi ekhuphuka egunjini labo lokuphumula, ehudula ijeneretha nokudla okomile. Intombazane, 6, ikhihle isililo.
UKhomishana wesifunda sase-Lee kanye nalowo owayeyiMeya yaseSanibel uKevin Ruan uthe isifunda sibambezele umyalelo wokuphuma kwabantu abaningi ngenxa yokuthi iziphepho zangaphambilini zakhombisa ukuthi isiphepho siya enyakatho.
UGov. Ron DeSantis kanye nomqondisi wakhe wezimo eziphuthumayo baphinde bathi izibikezelo zangaphambilini zabikezela ukuthi lesi siphepho sizohlasela enyakatho.
"Isiphepho esisodwa esihlasela enyakatho yeFlorida sizoba nomthelela endaweni yangakini, kanti esinye isiphepho sizoba nomthelela osheshayo," kusho uMnu. DeSantis engqungqutheleni yezindaba e-Lee County ngoLwesihlanu. "Ngakho-ke engikubonayo eSouthwest Florida ukuthi benza ngokushesha uma idatha ishintsha."
Kepha ngenkathi umkhondo weSiphepho u-Ian ususondele ezinsukwini zase-Lee County ngaphambi kokufika, ubungozi bokubalekela e-Lee County - ngisho nasenyakatho kakhulu - babonakala ekuqaleni kweSonto ebusuku.
Ngaleso sikhathi, amamodeli akhiqizwe yiNational Hurricane Centre aveze ukuthi ukuhlasela kwesiphepho kungamboza ingxenye enkulu yaseCape Coral naseFort Myers. Ngisho nalesi simo, izingxenye ze-Fort Myers Beach zinethuba elingamaphesenti angu-40 lesiphepho esingamamitha angu-6, ngokusho kwezibikezelo zokuhlasela kwesiphepho.
Umbhalo ka-Lee County wokuhlela izimo eziphuthumayo uveze isu lesimo esiphuthumayo uphawula ukuthi inani labantu abaningi besifunda kanye noxhaxha lwemigwaqo elinganiselwe kwenza kube nzima ukuphuma ngokushesha endaweni. Ngemuva kweminyaka yokusebenza, isifunda sesenze indlela ehlukanisiwe ekhulisa ukuphuma kwabantu ngokusekelwe ekuthembekeni kwengozi. “Izehlakalo ezibucayi zingadinga ukuba kuthathwe izinqumo ngolwazi oluncane oluthembekile noma olungenalo nhlobo,” kusho lo mbhalo.
UHlelo Lwesifunda luncoma ukukhishwa kokuqala ngisho noma kunethuba elingamaphesenti angu-10 lokuthi ukuqubuka kwesiphepho kuzodlula amafidi angu-6 ngaphezu komhlaba; futhi kudinga ukukhishwa uma kukhona ithuba elingamaphesenti angu-60 lokukhuphuka kwesiphepho esingamamitha amathathu, ngokusekelwe esikalini sokuslayida.
Ngaphezu kwesibikezelo sangeSonto ebusuku, isibuyekezo sangoMsombuluko sixwayise ngamaphesenti ayi-10 kuya kwangama-40 amathuba okukhukhula kwesiphepho endaweni engamafidi angu-6 ezindaweni eziningi zase-Cape Coral nase-Fort Myers, ezinye izindawo okungenzeka zibe namamitha angu-9 esiphepho esinamandla.
Phakathi namahora angakapheli uMsombuluko, izifunda ezingomakhelwane zase-Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, Sarasota, kanye ne-Charlotte zikhiphe imiyalo yokuphuma, i-Sarasota County imemezele ukuthi umyalelo wokuphuma wawuzoqala ukusebenza ngakusasa ekuseni. Kodwa-ke, izikhulu ze-Lee County zathi zilindele ukuhlolwa okufike ngesikhathi ngakusasa ekuseni.
"Uma sesikuqonda kangcono zonke lezi zinguquko, sizoba nokuqonda kangcono ukuthi yiziphi izindawo esingase kudingeke sizikhiphe futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo sinqume ukuthi yiziphi izindawo zokukhosela ezizovuleka," kusho uMphathi Wesifunda u-Lee Roger ngoMsombuluko ntambama. I-Desjarlet. .
Kodwa izangoma zeNational Hurricane Centre ziya ngokuya zixwayisa ngalesi sifunda. Esibuyekezweni sika-5:00 ntambama ngoMsombuluko, babhale ukuthi indawo esengozini enkulu “yokuhlasela kwesiphepho esisongela ukuphila” isuka eFort Myers iya eTampa Bay.
“Izakhamuzi zakulezi zindawo kufanele zithintane neziphathimandla zendawo,” kubhala isikhungo seziphepho. Amamodeli amasha akhombisa ukuthi ezinye izindawo ezigudle ulwandle lwase-Fort Myers maningi amathuba okuba zithole amagagasi angama-6-foot.
Enye yezinkinga ezikhungethe lesi sifunda ukuthi izikole zasendaweni zakhiwe njengezindawo zokukhosela futhi isigungu sesikole sinqume ukuthi singasebenzi ngoMsombuluko, kusho induna yesifunda uMnu Rune.
Ngakusasa ekuseni, ngo-7 am ngoLwesibili, uMnu. Desjarlais umemezele ukukhishwa kwengxenye, kodwa wagcizelela ukuthi "indawo ekhishwayo yayincane" uma kuqhathaniswa nokukhishwa kwangaphambilini ngenxa yesiphepho.
Isifunda sibambezele ukuthuthwa okwengeziwe naphezu kwezibikezelo ezibonisa ukuthutheleka okungaba khona ezindaweni ezingahlanganisiwe kulo myalelo. Izikhulu zelule imiyalo yazo yokuphuma kamuva ekuseni.
Emini, iseluleko sezikhulu zase-Lee County sase sinomfutho: “Isikhathi sokuphuma, amawindi ayavalwa,” babhale eposini likaFacebook.
UKatherine Morong, 32, uthe uzilungiselele ekuqaleni kwesonto ukuqeda lesi siphepho ngokulandela isiqondiso seziphathimandla zendawo. Uthe ushaqekile ngomyalelo wokuthi aphume isigubhukane ngoLwesibili ekuseni njengoba ephuma emvuleni.
“Isifunda singasebenza kakhulu futhi sisinikeze isikhathi esengeziwe sokuphuma,” kusho yena. Uthe ubehamba ngemoto emvuleni ebiyidliva esendleleni ebheke empumalanga kanti bekunenkanyamba eduzane.
UJoe Brosso, 65, uthe akazitholanga izaziso zokuphuma. Uthe ucabange ukuphunyuka njengoba kuqale ukuhlasela kwesiphepho ngoLwesithathu ekuseni, kodwa wabona ukuthi sekudlule isikhathi.
Wathatha umkakhe oneminyaka engu-70 ubudala kanye nenja wenyusa izitebhisi waya egumbini elingaphansi egalaji lakhe. Weza namathuluzi uma kwenzeka edingeka ukubaleka ngophahla.
“Kubi,” kusho uMnu. Brosso. “Bekuyinto esabisa kakhulu. Ngizama ukukhuphula le nja nomkami ezitebhisini ezingaphansi. Bese uchitha amahora ayisithupha lapho.”
Ezinye izakhamizi zithe zisibonile lesi sibikezelo kodwa zakhetha ukuhlala ekhaya - omakadebona bezivunguvungu eziningi ezedlule okubikezela kwabo okubi akuzange kufezeke.
"Abantu batshelwe, batshelwe ubungozi, futhi abanye basanda kuthatha isinqumo sokuthi abafuni ukuhamba," kusho uMnu. DeSantis ngoLwesihlanu.
UJoe Santini, umsizi kadokotela osewathatha umhlalaphansi, uthe ngeke ashiye ikhaya lakhe yize incwadi yokuphuma yakhishwa ngaphambi kwesiphepho. Uthe usehlale endaweni yaseFort Myers impilo yakhe yonke akazi nokuthi angaya kuphi.
Amanzi angena endlini yakhe ngoLwesithathu kusihlwa futhi wayesecishe abe yimitha ukusuka emhlabathini ngoLwesihlanu – okwamangaza uMnu. Santini. “Angicabangi ukuthi wake waba muncu kanje,” esho.
I-Lee County njengamanje iyisizinda senhlekelele, ngomonakalo omkhulu e-Fort Myers Beach, ukuwa ingxenye yomgwaqo i-Sanibel Road, kanye nazo zonke izindawo eziyincithakalo. Izikhungo zesifunda zeluleka izakhamizi ukuthi zibilise amanzi ngenxa yokonakala kwamapayipi.
