Ukuhlela uhambo lokuthutha e-US East Coast noma eCaribbean ? Ungase ukhathazeke ngengozi yesikhwama esiphazamisa uhambo lwakho. Nasi isimiso senkathi yeziphepho.
Ngonyaka odlule ochwepheshe bancoma inani leziphepho ngo-2017. Isizini saba yinye yezinto ezimbi kakhulu futhi ezibulalayo emlandweni.
Ngini iSiphepho Isikhathi?
Isikhathi sezulu sase-Atlantic siphezulu kusukela ngoJuni 1 kuya kuNovemba 30 kanye nenani eliphakeme kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-Agasti kuze kube sekupheleni kuka-Okthoba.
Ibhasi lase-Atlantic lihlanganisa lonke i-Atlantic Ocean, uLwandle LwaseCaribbean neGulf of Mexico. Iziphepho ezivela e-Atlantic zingathinta ukuvakasha ogwini olusempumalanga-mpumalanga, lonke elaseFlorida, kanye naseGulf Coast kusukela eFloran Panhandle kuya eTexas.
Yini ejwayelekile? Ngokusekelwe kumarekhodi omlando womlando kusukela ngo-1950, unyaka ojwayelekile uzoletha iziphepho ezingu-12 ezishisayo ezinemimoya engama-39 mph, okuyisithupha kuzoba yiziphepho ezinomoya ofinyelela ku-74 mph noma ngaphezulu, nezigaba ezintathu ezinkulu noma iziphepho ezinamandla okungenani 111 mph. (Funda kabanzi mayelana nokuthi iziphepho zichazwa kanjani .)
Ingabe kufanele sigxile enani leziphepho? Yebo no cha. Iziphepho kuphela iningi lethu elidinga ukukhathazeka ngazo yilokho okwenzela ukufika komhlaba, okungahle kube nokulungiswa okuncane kunani eliphelele lemvunguvungu kunoma yisiphi isikhathi esinikeziwe. Isibonelo, ngo-2010 kwakuyiminyaka ematasa kakhulu, eneziphepho ezingu-19 eziqanjwe neziphepho ezingu-12.
Kodwa akukho isiphepho, nesiphepho esisodwa kuphela esiphezulu, senze umhlaba we-US ngonyaka.
Kuze kube yilapho inhlanhlathelo yayo iphela ngo-2016, iFlorida yayingenaso isikhwama seminyaka eyishumi. Ngokomlando, eNyakatho naseNingizimu Carolina bathola iziphepho ezincane emhlabeni jikelele kuneFlorida. Futhi kuyathakazelisa ukuthi iGeorgia- amanga phakathi kukaFlorida noCarolinas-athola omncane kunazo zonke zazo.
Kusho ukuthini amacebo ami eholide? Ngokwesibalo, kukhona ingozi ephansi kakhulu yokuthi isivunguvungu siyothinta iholidi lakho. Noma kunjalo, uma uhlela ukuvakasha eFlorida, eGulf Coast, noma eCaribbean ngenkathi yesikhukhula, ungase ucabange ukuthenga umshuwalense wokuhamba noma ukhethe ihhotela ngesiqinisekiso somphepho . Ngokuvamile, uma uhambo lwakho lukhanseliwe noma luphazanyiswa ngenxa yesiphepho, ungabuyiselwa emuva kumkhawulo wokufaka. Qaphela ukuthi ezimweni eziningi, umshuwalense kufanele uthengwe amahora angaba ngu-24 ngaphambi kokuba kuqanjwe isiphepho.
Ngingahlala kanjani phezu kwezixwayiso zesiphepho? Uma uhamba endaweni ehambelaniswe nesiphepho, landa uhlelo lokusebenza lwephepho kusukela e-American Red Cross ngezibuyekezo zesiphepho kanye nokushaywa kwezici eziwusizo.
I-Recap ye-Hurricane Isizini 2017
Isikhathi sonyaka ka-2017 sase-Atlantic siphepho sasiyisikhathi esibucayi, esiyingozi futhi esibhubhisa kakhulu esibekiwe phakathi kwamarekhodi kusukela ngo-1851. Okubi nakakhulu, inkathi yayingapheli, nazo zonke iziphepho zonyaka zonyaka zenzeka ngokulandelana.
Abaningi ababikezelayo babengekho uphawu, mhlawumbe kancane noma ngokunciphisa ngokuyinhloko inombolo kanye nokufutheka kweziphepho. Ekuqaleni konyaka, ababikezeli babelindele ukuthi i-El Niño izokhula, isinciphise umsebenzi wesiphepho.
Kodwa-ke, i-El Niño ebikezelwe ayihlulekile ukuthuthukisa futhi esikhundleni salokho, izimo ezingathathi hlangothi zakhiwe ukwakha iLa Niña ngomnyaka wesibili ngokulandelana. Abanye ababikezeli balungisa ukubikezela kwabo ngenxa yezokuthuthuka, kodwa abazange baqonde ngokugcwele ukuthi inkathi izokwenzeka kanjani.
Khumbula ukuthi unyaka ojwayelekile uletha iziphepho eziyi-12, iziphepho eziyisithupha, neziphepho ezintathu ezinkulu. Unyaka wezi-2017 wawunezikhathi ezingaphezu kwezinga elijwayelekile elikhiqiza iziphepho ezingu-17 ezibizwa ngokuthi iziphepho, iziphepho eziyi-10, neziphepho ezinkulu eziyisithupha. Nakhu ukuthi izibikezelo zihambelana kanjani nezibikezelo zabo zonyaka ka-2017.
- I-NOAA (I-National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) yanciphisa kancane inkathi, ibikezela inkathi "engaphezulu-evamile" eneziphepho ezinamagama angu-11 kuya ku-17, iziphepho ezinhlanu kuya kweziyisishiyagalolunye, kuhlanganise neziphepho ezimbili noma ezine ezinkulu.
- I-Global Weather Oscillations Inc. (GWO) nayo yabikezela ngenhla imisebenzi ephezulu enezivunguvungu ezingu-16, iziphepho eziyisishiyagalombili, neziphepho ezine ezinkulu.
- Ingozi yaseTropical Storm evela eNyuvesi yaseLondon ingacabangi ukuthi i-ferocity yenkathi yabikezela ngokubikezela iziphepho ezingu-14 ezithiwa, iziphepho eziyisithupha, neziphepho ezintathu ezinkulu.
- Isimo sezulu sezulu sabikezela isikhathi esijwayelekile, ngeziphepho ezingu-12 eziqanjwe ngamagama, iziphepho eziyisithupha, neziphepho ezimbili ezinkulu.
- UMnyango Wezemvelo WaseNorth Carolina State University , ulahlekelwe uphawu ngokubikezela isiphepho esivamile ngezikhathi eziyi-11 kuya kwezingu-15 ezibizwa ngokuthi iziphepho, iziphepho ezine kuya kweziyisithupha, neziphepho ezintathu kuya kwezintathu ezinkulu.
- I-Accuweather yayikude , ibikezele isikhathi esingaphansi kancane-esivamile-esivamile, eneziphepho ezinamagama angu-10, iziphepho ezinhlanu, neziphepho ezintathu ezinkulu.
- I-Colorado State University nayo yabikezela ukuthi unyaka osebenza kancane kancane kunokwamukelekile, eneziphepho ezingu-11 okuthiwa, iziphepho ezine, neziphepho ezimbili ezinkulu.
