Okumele Ukulindele Nendlela Yokuhlala Uphephile
Uma ucabanga ngezindawo ezinomsebenzi ophezulu we-tornadic, mhlawumbe ucabanga kuqala eMidwest efana neKansas , Nebraska , ne- Oklahoma . Futhi ngenkathi i-Mid-South ingaboni ndawo eduze nenani lezinkanyamba iMidwest ebonayo, sithola ingxenye yethu enhle ye-tornados nesimo sezulu esinzima.
Izinkanyamba ezimbalwa kakhulu zithinta kakhulu eMzini waseMemphis; ngokuvamile, izinkanyamba zivame ukushaya endaweni evulekile njengezintambo namasimu kunezindawo ezisemadolobheni amakhulu nezindawo.
Noma kunjalo, izimpungushezi zingase zishaye ngaphakathi kwedolobha. Nokho, ngokuvamile, izimpungushe zihlasela ezindaweni ezikude zendawo yendawo yedolobha ezihlanganisa iMid South South. Eminyakeni yamuva, khumbula izimpungushezi zashaya iBartlett, iGermantown, iDeSoto County, noJackson, TN.
Ngakho-ke ukuthi izivunguvungu zivamile kangakanani eMid-South? Nazi ezinye izibalo ezivela kuNational Weather Service:
- Inombolo yezinkanyamba eziqoshiwe kusukela ngo-1990: 15
- Izinyanga ezinenani elikhulu kunazo zonke izimpungushe: ngoJuni
- Inombolo yokulimala okuhlobene nesiphepho kusukela ngo-1990: 39
- Inombolo yokushona okuhlobene nesiphepho kusukela ngo-1990: 6
Uma kukhona ukukhuphuka okungenzeka kwenkanyamba, ukubuka kwezulu kunikelwa yiNational Weather Service. Uma kwenzeka isiphepho sitholakala endaweni, isixwayiso sesiphepho sikhishwa futhi isiphepho esinomsindo esizwakalayo sizozwakala. Ngaphezu kwalokho, hlala amehlo akho kulezi zibonakaliso ze-tornado ezayo:
- Ukujikeleza okuqhubekayo kusisekelo sefu
- Ukungcola noma uthuli olujikelezayo ngaphansi kwesisekelo sefu
- I-greenish tint esibhakabhakeni
- Ukuthula okungazelelwe ngemva kwemvula noma isichotho
- Ukudumaza, ngokuvamile kufaniswa nokuzwakala kwesitimela noma i-jet
Uma kwenzeka isixwayiso sezulu, kubalulekile ukukhusela futhi silandele izinqubo ezijwayelekile zokuphepha kwe-tornado:
- Uma usendlini noma esakhiweni esiqinile, gwema amafasitela futhi ufune indawo yokukhosela phakathi-igumbi elikhulu elingaphansi phansi kwendlu. Sebenzisa ifenisha noma ifenisha eqinile njengesivikelo emanzini awela phansi.
- Uma usekhaya elisekhaya noma ngezimoto, hamba ngaphandle bese ulala phansi phansi noma ekucindezelekeni noma emgodini.
- Uma ungaphandle, funa indawo yokukhosela esakhiweni esiqinile uma umuntu efinyeleleka. Uma kungenjalo, ulale ngaphandle emhlabathini ophansi, ugweme izihlahla nezimoto ezingakulimaza ngesikhathi sezulu.
- Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ufuna kuphi indawo yokuhlala, sebenzisa izandla zakho nezandla ukuvikela ikhanda lakho emanzini okudoba.
- Uma kunokwenzeka, gqoka izicathulo ngaphambi kokufuna indawo yokuhlala. Uma isiqhwaga sishaya, uzokwazi kangcono ukukhuphuka phezu kwezidumbu uma ugqoke izicathulo.
- Gcina ukuhlonza kwakho kuwe. Uma ubuhlungu noma udidekile, lokhu kungasiza izisebenzi eziphuthumayo ukukukhomba.
