Amathiphu wokuhlala uphephile uma uhlala ekamelweni lesiphepho
Uma uhlela i- RVing noma uhlale ekamu esifundeni esinenkinga enkulu kukhona amathiphu ayisisekelo nolwazi okufanele uwazi ngaphambi kokuba uhambe, ngokuqondile ku-National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). I-United States ihlanganisa 1,200 tornados ngonyaka, ngokusho kwe-NOAA. I-radar ye-Doppler ithuthukise ikhono lokubikezela i-tornados, kodwa isenza nje isixwayiso semaminithi amathathu kuya kwangu-30. Njengoba kunesibonakaliso esincane esinjalo, i-NOAA igcizelela ukuthi ukushisa kwesikhonyane kubalulekile.
Izinhlelo ze-Tornado Warning
Uma u-RVing eduze kwedolobhana elincane, kungenzeka ukuthi kukhona uhlelo lwe-siren olungazwakala ngamamayela amaningana. Thatha isikhashana lapho ufika kuqala epakini lakho le-RV ukuze uthole mayelana nesiphepho nesimo sexwayiso sesiphepho sendawo yakho, noma ngabe uhlala isikhathi esifushane.
I-Tornado Shelters
Thola ukuthi i-park yakho inendawo yokuhlala indawo yokuhlala noma lapho indawo yokuhlala eseduze khona. Izindlu zokuhlala nezindlu zokuhlala ezingaphansi komhlaba yizindawo eziphephile, kodwa ezincane, eziqinile ngaphakathi namagumbi okuhlinzekela ukuhlinzeka ngokuvikeleka okufanele ngesikhathi sezulu.
Uma kungekho indawo yokukhosela, ezinye izindlela zingase zibe ishazi lepaki noma izindlu zokugezela. Uma kukhona isakhiwo esiqinile esinama-closets noma i-hallway yangaphakathi uzama ukulala lapho. Uma engekho kulezi zikhona ukushayela indawo yokuhlala esiseduze ngokushesha njengoba iphephile. Gcina i-seatbelt yakho.
Uhlelo lwe-Tornado Preparedness Plan
I-NOAA kanye nezinyathelo eziphakanyisiwe ze-American Red Cross zifaka:
- Ukuqapha i-NOAA Radio Weather
- Yazi ukuthi uzoya kuphi indawo yokukhosela, mhlawumbe ngaphakathi kwebanga lokuhamba
- Yilungele ukuhamba lapho kukhishwa ukubukwa kwesiphepho
- Susa ifenisha yensimbi nezinye izinto ezingaba yi-projectiles endaweni yangaphakathi
- Hamba ngokushesha lapho kukhishwa isixwayiso sesiphepho
- Nomaphi lapho uthola indawo yokukhosela uhlale kude namawindi
- Ungalungiseleli ukuhlala ngaphakathi kwe-RV yakho
- Letha izilwane ezifuywayo, uma zivunyelwe, ku-othwala
- Ukubamba kuphela okubalulekile (isikhwama, ID, ukheshi) futhi kuphela uma kutholakala kalula
- Ungadli isikhathi sokufuna noma yini
- Yenza umkhuba wakho wokushisa isiphepho ngezikhathi ezithile
Izimpawu Zenkanyamba Yomlilo
- Ukushayela kagesi emoyeni - izinwele ezandleni zokuma (hhayi njalo)
- Isichotho esikhulu
- Isibani
- Umsindo odubulayo
- Amafu amnyama / aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka
- Amafu ajikelezayo abonakalayo
- Ifu le-wall elibonakala njengezithundu eziwela phansi
- Ifu liyaqhubeka liqhubeka phansi, libonakala lifana ne-funnel
- Ukuthutha uthuli noma ama-debris akhuphuka emhlabathini, ngokuvamile "afinyelela" ehla efwini elinjenge-funnel
Inland and Plains Tornados
I-Tornados ekhuphuka emathafeni futhi izingxenye eziningi zezwe ngokuvamile ihambisana nesichotho noma umbani. Lezi zimpawu zokuxwayisa yizimpawu zakho zokufuna indawo yokuhlala kuze kube yilapho isiphepho sidlula. Sivame ukucabanga nge-tornados ngokuthi "sisondela" kusuka kude. Khumbula ukuthi zonke izinkanyamba ziqala endaweni ethile. Uma lokho "endaweni ethile" kuseduze nawe, ngeke ube nesikhathi esiningi sokufika endaweni yokukhosela.
I-Tornados ingahlakulela phakathi nosuku noma ubusuku. Ngokwemvelo, i-tornados yasebusuku iyesabeka kakhulu kusukela ungase ungakwazi ukubona ukuthi iza, noma kungenzeka ukuthi ilele lapho iwa.
I-Tornados Egcwele Iziphepho
Ngokungafani nezinhlanzi zasemaphandleni ezivela eziphefumulweni, lezo ezikhula ngeziphepho zivame ukukwenza lapho kungekho isichotho nombani. Bangakwazi futhi ukuthuthukisa izinsuku emva kwesikhwama senza umhlaba wehlele, kodwa ujwayele ukuthuthukisa ngesikhathi semini emva kwamahora ambalwa okuqala phezu komhlaba.
Nakuba ama-tornados angathuthuka emabhokisini emvula yesikhukhula, kude neleso noma isikhungo sesiphepho, cishe kungenzeka ukuba athuthuke emgqeni wangaphambili wesiphepho. Uma wazi lapho uhlobene khona neso siphepho nezigaba, unethuba elingcono lokugwema i-tornados.
Ngokusobala, ukuhamba ngaphambi kokuba isiphepho senze umhlaba wezwe kungcono kakhulu ongakwenza kodwa akunakwenzeka ngaso sonke isikhathi. Izimo eziningi zingakuvimbela ukuba ungangeni kude njengoba ungathanda, uma kunjalo. Ukuphuma kwegesi noma idizili kungaba enye yazo.
I-Fujita Scale (F-Isikali)
Uke wazibuza ukuthi igama elithi "F-Scale" lisho ukuthini, njengesiphepho esilinganiselwe iF3? Kuhle, umqondo ongavamile, ngoba iningi lethu silindele ukuthi izilinganiso zithathwe ezilinganisweni eziqondile. Izilinganiso ze-F-Scale yizilinganiso zejubane lemimoya ezisekelwe ekugqibeleni kwe-second-second kuze kube khona umonakalo, kunezingqinamba zomoya.
Ekuqaleni lakhiwa nguDkt. Theodore Fujita ngo-1971, i-NOAA yafaka i-Enhanced F-Scale ukusetshenziswa ngo-2007 njengesibuyekezo ku-F-Scale yasekuqaleni. Ngokusekelwe kule tornados yezinga kulinganiswa kanje:
I-EF Isilinganiso = 3 Gust Second in mph
0 = 65-85 mph
1 = 86-110 mph
2 = 111-135 mph
3 = 136-165 mph
4 = 166-200 mph
5 = Ngaphezu kwe-200 mph
Ezinye izinhlelo eziphuthumayo
Hlola izinhlelo ze-RV zezimo eziphuthumayo zazo zonke izinhlobo ezinezixhumanisi cishe nganoma isiphi isimo sezulu noma inhlekelele yemvelo ongase ungene kuyo. Ulwazi oluthe xaxa mayelana nezinkanyamba.
