Isiphepho esikhulu singalimaza izinhlelo zakho zokuvakasha, yingakho ochwepheshe batusa ukuthatha izinyathelo zokuqapha xaxa lapho uhlela uhambo phakathi nenkathi yeziphepho.
Isiphepho Isikhathi
Isikhathi sezulu sase-Atlantic sinezinyanga eziyisithupha ubude, sisukela ngoJuni 1 kuya kuNovemba 30, ngesikhatsi esiphakeme kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-Agasti kuya ekupheleni kuka-Okthoba. Izivunguvungu zivame ukwenzeka emazweni alala eduze kwe-East Coast naseGulf of Mexico, kanye neMexico naseCaribbean.
Ukhathazekile ngokuhambela kulezi zindawo ngenkathi yesikhukhula ? Ngokwesibalo, kukhona ingozi ephansi kakhulu yokuthi isivunguvungu siyothinta iholidi lakho. Isikhathi esiphezulu sezulu siphepho sizoletha iziphepho ezingu-12 ezinomswakama onamandla angama-39 mph, okuyisithupha kuzoba yiziphepho futhi ezintathu ziba yizikhulu ezinkulu eSigaba 3 noma ngaphezulu.
Iziphepho zaseTropical vs. Iziphepho
Ukucindezeleka kweTropical: Ukuvunguza Kwezansi ngezansi kwe 39 mph. Lapho indawo engaphansi kwengcindezi ehambisana nezivunguvungu ikhiqiza umoya ojikelezayo ngemimoya engaphansi kwe-39 mph. Iningi lezintambo ezishisayo zinemimoya enamandla ephakathi kuka-25 no-35 mph.
Isiphepho seTropical: I- Wind Speed of 39 kuya ku-73 mph. Lapho iziphepho zihamba ngesivinini esingaphezu kwe-39 mph, zibizwa kanjalo.
Iziphepho Izigaba 1 Ku-5
Lapho isivunguvungu sibhala imimoya enamandla okungenani amakhilomitha angu-74 ngehora, ihlukaniswa njengesivunguvungu. Lesi yisimiso esikhulu sesiphepho esakha phezu kwamanzi futhi siya emhlabathini.
Izinsongo ezisemqoka ezivela ezinhlobonhlobo zihlanganisa imimoya ephakeme, imvula enamandla, nezikhukhula ezindaweni ezisogwini naseningizimu.
Kwezinye izingxenye zomhlaba, lezi zivunguvungu ezinkulu zibizwa ngokuthi ama-typhoons nama-cyclone.
Iziphepho zibalwa ngezilinganiso ze-1 kuya ku-5 zisebenzisa i-Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale (SSHWS). Iziphepho zesigaba 1 no-2 zingabangela umonakalo nokulimala kubantu nezilwane.
Njengoba uhamba ngesivinini esingamakhilomitha angu-111 ngehora noma ngaphezulu, iziqhingi zeSigaba 3, 4, nezi-5 zibhekwa njengezivunguvungu ezinkulu.
Isigaba 1: Isivinini se-Wind sika-74 kuya kuma-95 mph. Lindela umonakalo omncane kumpahla ngenxa yezingcola ezindizayo. Ngokuvamile, ngesikhathi sesiphepho seSigaba 1, amafasitela amaningi eklasi azohlala ephelele. Kungase kube nokuphuma kwamandla okwesikhashana ngenxa yamigqa yamandla noma imithi ewile.
Isigaba sesi-2: I- Wind Speed of 96 kuya ku-110 mph. Lindela umonakalo omkhulu wendawo, okubandakanya umonakalo ongase ube nawo ekukhahleni, ukudonsa, namafasitela eglasi. Ukukhukhula kungaba yingozi enkulu ezindaweni eziphansi. Lindela ukuqhuma kwamandla okubanzi okungaqhubeka izinsuku ezimbalwa kuya emavikini ambalwa.
Isigaba sesi-3: I- Wind Speed of 111 kuya ku-130 mph. Lindela umonakalo omkhulu wempahla. Izindlu zamaselula nezakhiwo ezingakhiwe kahle zingase zibhujiswe, futhi izindlu zakhelwe kahle zingase zisekele umonakalo omkhulu. Izikhukhula eziningi ezisezindaweni zasemakhaya zivame ukuza nesiphepho sesigaba 3. Ukuphelelwa amandla kwamandla nokuntuleka kwamanzi kungalindelwa ngemuva kwesiphepho salobukhulu.
Isigaba sesi-4: I- Wind Speed of 131 kuya 155 mph. Lindela ukulimala okubi emiphakathini, kufaka phakathi imizi yeselula namakhaya ohlaka. Iziphepho ezinezigaba ezine zivame ukuletha ukukhukhula nezikhukhula zamandla isikhathi eside nokuntuleka kwamanzi.
Isigaba 5: Isivinini se-Wind esiphezulu kwe-156 mph. Ngokuqinisekile indawo izobe ngaphansi kwe-oda lokuthutha. Lindela umonakalo omkhulu wendawo, abantu, nezilwane nokubhujiswa okuphelele kwamakhaya asekhaya, amakhaya ohlaka. Cishe zonke izihlahla endaweni zizoxoshwa. Iziphepho zesigaba 5 ziletha ukuphuma kwamandla okuhlala isikhathi eside nokuntuleka kwamanzi, futhi izifunda zingase zibe khona amasonto noma izinyanga.
Ukulandelela nokuphunyuka
Ngokujabulisayo, iziphepho zingatholakala futhi zilandelwe kahle kusengaphambili kokwenza ukuwa. Abantu abasendleleni yesiphepho bavame ukuthola izinsuku eziningana kusengaphambili.
Uma isiphepho sisongela indawo yakho, kubalulekile ukuhlala uqaphela izibikezelo zesimo sezulu, kungaba ku-TV, umsakazo noma ngohlelo lokusebenza lwesixwayiso sephepho . Lawula ama-oda wokuthutha. Uma uhlala endaweni esogwini noma indawo enezizathu eziphansi, khumbula ukuthi ingozi enkulu yizikhukhula zasendaweni.
