Ngo-2017 i- Atlantic yenkathi yesiphepho yayisasebenza kakhulu kunejwayelekile futhi iFlorida yahlaselwa yisigaba 4 Isiphepho i-Irma, sigcina umonakalo omkhulu ngenxa yomoya kanye nezikhukhula.
Ngaphambi kuka-2016, iFlorida yayisenkundleni yokuwina isiphepho esingenamphepho. I-Sunshine State yayinezincwadi ezingu-11 ngaphandle kwephepho. Kodwa leyo minyaka eyishumi-plus streak yafika ngo-September 2016, lapho Isigaba-1 Isiphepho iHermine senza umhlaba ngaphambi kokuba kuphele isiphepho esishisayo.
Emasontweni ambalwa kamuva, ngo-Okthoba 2016, Isigaba-3 Isiphepho sakwaMathemanga asizange senze indawo eFlorida kodwa sichitha lonke ilanga ludabula ogwini olwandle nje, amadolobha okushaya, okubangela ukufa kwabantu abaningi, nokushiya ngaphezulu kuka-Floridians abayizigidi ngaphandle kwamandla.
Ukuhlela uhambo oluphuthumayo eFlorida? Nakhu okumele ukwazi ngakho ngenkathi yeziphepho.
Iyini isiphepho? Iziphepho zaseTropical ezinezivunguvungu eziphezulu ezihambisana nezimo zesiphepho ziwela kwesinye sezigaba ezinhlanu, kanti isiphepho esinamandla kunazo zonke sibe isiqhingi seZigaba-5.
Isikhathi siphepho nini? Isikhathi sezulu sase-Atlantic siphezulu kusukela ngoJuni 1 kuya kuNovemba 30 kanye nenani eliphakeme kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-Agasti kuze kube sekupheleni kuka-Okthoba. Inyanga kaSeptemba ivame ukhiqiza iziphepho eziningi kakhulu. Ibhasi lase-Atlantic lihlanganisa lonke i-Atlantic Ocean, uLwandle LwaseCaribbean neGulf of Mexico.
Yini ejwayelekile yenkathi yeziphepho? Ngokusekelwe kumarekhodi omlando womlando kusukela ngo-1950, isifunda sase-Atlantic siyovame ukubhekana neziphepho ezingu-12 ezishisayo ezinomoya onamandla ka-39 mph, lapho eziyisithupha ziphenduka iziphepho ezinomoya ofinyelela ku-74 mph noma ngaphezulu, nezigaba ezintathu ezinkulu noma ngaphezulu imimoya okungenani 111 mph.
Kubalulekile ukuphawula ukuthi iningi lalezi ziphepho alenzeki ezweni lase-United States.
Zingaki iziphepho ezihlasela iFlorida? Ngokwesilinganiso, isiphepho esisodwa kuya kwezingubili (noma ngokuqondile, iziphepho eziyi-1.75) zenza umhlaba wehlelwe ogwini lwase-US East njalo ngonyaka. Kulabo, amaphesenti angu-40 afika eFlorida. Kusukela ngo-1851, iziphepho ezingu-37 zenze ukushaya ngqo eFlorida.
Kukhona okuncane okungahambisani nhlobo phakathi kwenani lezinkanyezi kanye nalabo abenza ukufika komhlaba nganoma 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.
Kusho ukuthini amacebo ami eholide? Ngokwesibalo, kukhona ingozi ephansi kakhulu yokuthi isivunguvungu siyothinta iholidi lakho. Noma kunjalo, uma uhlela ukuvakasha eFlorida phakathi kukaJuni no-Okthoba, ungase ucabange ukuthenga umshuwalense wokuhamba noma ukhetha ihhotela elinikeza isiqinisekiso sokuphelelwa yisiphepho . 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.
Futhi phawula ukuthi iziphepho ezishisayo ezingasifinyeleli isimo sesiphepho singakwazi ukubeka isikhala esimweni sakho seholide ngokuletha izinsuku ezingekho emvula. Ungase ukwazi ukukhansela iholide lakho ngaphandle kwesigwebo, kodwa kufanele uhlale ubheka izibikezelo zezulu bese uhlela (futhi upake) ngokufanele.
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.
