Orlando, Florida (eTN) – Tropical Storm Fay udlule eKey West, eFlorida efika eCape Romano ngoMsombuluko. Isexwayiso sesiphepho esishisayo sikhishwe njengoba uFay elahla imvula futhi ephephula umoya esiqhingini ngo-3 ntambama. Babalelwa ku-26,000 1 abavakashi asebebalekile kule ndawo ngemuva kokumenyezelwa kwesiphepho sika-Category XNUMX.
Ukuvunguza komoya ngesikhathi sokushicilela ngoLwesibili kufinyelele ngaphezu kuka-60-73 mph ngaphesheya kwe-Key West namayintshi angu-4 kuya kwangu-8 emvula kanye nokuqhuma kwesiphepho esingamamitha angu-4 kuya kwangu-8. Kukhishwe newashi lenkanyamba ngoMsombuluko. Amabhendi akhiqizayo ukusuka eningizimu ukuya ogwini olusentshonalanga ye-Sunshine State abonisa iphethini njengemodeli eyodwa ephuma ibheke ogwini olusempumalanga ye-Florida. Kusukela enyakatho ye-Flagler Beach kuya e-Fernandina Beach, izimo zesiphepho esishisayo zingenzeka phakathi namahora angu-36 alandelayo. Izingxenye zangaphakathi zaseNingizimu Florida naseningizimu-mpumalanga yeCentral Florida zilindele ukuba nemvula eningi nomoya emahoreni angu-36 alandelayo, ngokusho kweFlorida Division of Emergency Management.
Iziphathimandla zithi kunezikhukhula zasendaweni futhi izintambo zikagesi ziphansi kwezinye izindawo. Akukho ukulimala okubi okubikiwe okwamanje; ngaphandle kwezinsimu ebeziphansi nezihlahla namagatsha ehlakazekile endaweni, akukho monakalo obikiwe.
Ngokusho kwe-Visit Florida, umthombo osemthethweni wezokuvakasha nokuhlela, amahhotela aseNingizimu Florida abevuliwe futhi esebenza ngokugcwele eKeys ngoLwesibili ukuze izivakashi zibuyele endaweni. Izivakashi zehhotela zibuyiselwa imali yazo ngokubhukha kwamahhotela okungagcwaliswanga ngesikhathi sokuhlala phakathi nenkathi yesiphepho. Kukhucululwa okukhulu ezindaweni zomphakathi zamahhotela kanti izivakashi kulindeleke ukuthi zibuye kusasa.
Ekuphakameni kwesizini yesiphepho eminyakeni emibili edlule, isifundazwe saseFlorida sabona ukwehla okukhulu kwezivakashi ngesikhathi sekwindla nesizini yokuhamba yasebusika ngenxa yeziphepho ezihlasele izingxenye zesifunda sokukhanya kwelanga okuhlanganisa i-Orlando, Miami neTampa. Izihambeli ezingaphezu kwekota zaseMelika zikhansele izinhlelo zokuhamba zaseFlorida ngenxa yeziphepho, okube nomthelela emakamelweni amahhotela acishe abe ngu-228,000 abehlalwa usuku nosuku eFlorida ngokocwaningo olwenziwe yi-Manugistics Group, Inc., umhlinzeki ohamba phambili emhlabeni jikelele we-supply chain eqhutshwa isidingo. izixazululo zokuphatha.
Kusukela ocwaningweni lwabathengi kazwelonke, i-Manugistics yembula izimo zengqondo nokuziphatha kwabantu abadala baseMelika mayelana nebhizinisi nezinhlelo zamahhotela ezokungcebeleka eFlorida ngemva kwesizini yesiphepho esibi kakhulu kusukela ngo-1950. Lolu cwaningo lwathola ukuthi nakuba enye ingxenye yesithathu (amaphesenti angu-34) yabantu abadala baseMelika yathi iziphepho zakamuva angeke kuthinte izinhlelo zokuhamba eziya eFlorida, kodwa namanje kufika ezigidini ezingu-3.4 ubusuku bamagumbi ehhotela eFlorida bakhanselwe noma bagwenywa ngesikhathi esisele sika-2004.
Amapaki etimu e-Orlando avalwe kusukela ngoMsombuluko futhi ahlala evaliwe ekuseni kodwa amanye avulekele ibhizinisi ngoLwesibili, ngokusho kwe-Visit Florida. Izikole beziseduze ezifundeni zase-Orange naseSeminole njengoba izikhulu zesikole bezingenaso isiqiniseko ngendlela kaFay. U-Dia Kuykendall, oyiMenenja Yezokuxhumana e-Visit Florida uthe, "Alikho ihhotela e-Orlando elivaliwe."
Ukuze kuvikelwe ukuvikelwa kwebhizinisi labahleli bomhlangano ababhukha iFlorida, Vakashela iFlorida ngo-2004 yethula uhlelo lomshwalense olubizwa ngokuthi I-Cover Your Event Insurance (CYE) ukuze ikhombe ochwepheshe bomhlangano ukuthi baqhubekele phambili nezinhlelo zemihlangano, izikhuthazo, imicimbi noma izingqungquthela endaweni oya kuyo. Ukunakwa kwabahleli bezingqungquthela kushube kakhulu ngesikhathi iziphepho uCharlie, uFrances kanye nezinye ezibizwa ngeziphepho zisekelwa amadolobha amakhulu eFlorida.
Imihlangano eyisishiyagalombili namaqembu ezinkomfa acele umshwalense we-CYE eFlorida phakathi nokufika kukaFay. U-Kuykendall uthe, nokho, kungenzeka bangenzi isimangalo njengoba i-CYE ihlanganisa kuphela iziphepho eziqanjwe yi-National weather Bureau, hhayi iziphepho zasezindaweni ezishisayo. “Futhi uma beyikhansela imicimbi yabo, kuzofanele baye ezinkampanini zabo zomshwalense hhayi ukuthi bavakashele eFlorida ukuze bazinze,” kusho yena.
Imicimbi emisha noma esivele ihleliwe ezobanjwa phakathi nenkathi yeziphepho okungenani ubusuku obungamakamelo angu-100 phakathi nenkathi yobusuku obubili iyafaneleka ukuthi lo mshwalense webhizinisi owengeziwe uhlinzekwe ngaphandle kwenkokhiso emihlanganweni. Imali efinyelela ku-$5 million ngenyanga izokhava phakathi no-Agasti, Septhemba no-Okthoba ngomkhawulo ongaphansi komcimbi ngamunye onomshwalense ongu-$100,000 uma ubusuku obungu-100-300; $ 150,000 uma 301-500 igumbi ubusuku; kanye no-$200,000 uma ubusuku obungaphezu kwamakamelo angu-500. Ukufakwa kuzokhokhela umehluko wegumbi kanye nezindleko ezengeziwe zokuhlela kabusha imicimbi, kodwa hhayi inzuzo yokulahlekelwa. Ukuze izinkampani zithole imali, umcimbi wazo kufanele uhlelwe kabusha e-Florida endaweni efanayo noma eseduze etholakalayo phakathi nezinyanga eziyi-12, ngaphandle kwalokho azikho izimangalo ezizojatshulelwa. Vakashela iFlorida ukhokha wonke amaphrimiyamu, kuphela kufika ku-$10 wezigidi zokuchayeka inyanga ngayinye ngemikhawulo engaphansi ngomcimbi ngamunye onomshwalense osuselwe kubusuku begumbi obuphelele.
Khonamanjalo e-Jacksonville, abantu balindele isiphepho futhi balindele izimvula eziningi ezizayo, kodwa njengoba umoya uphansi, umonakalo awulindelekile.
Ngonyaka odlule, umnikazi wehhotela laseCentral Florida uHarris Rosen, usabise uchwepheshe weziphepho uDkt William Gray ngecala lokubikezela kwakhe isiphepho esibi ethi kulimaze ezokuvakasha zombuso.
Usomabhizinisi ophambili wamahhotela uthe ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi amaphesenti angama-70 ezivakashi ezingabuyeli emahhotela akhe aveze ukwesaba kwesiphepho njengesizathu.
Ngokusho kwe-Manugistics, abaphendulile kwinhlolovo bathi ukunikeza izinxephezelo zamanani kuzoba yisinyathelo esiphoqa kakhulu amahhotela angasithatha ukuze enze abathengi baseMelika balandele izinhlelo zabo zokungcebeleka zokuya eFlorida, naphezu kweziphepho.
Okwamanje, simi eduze njengoba iso lesiphepho sidlula.
