I-Port Canaveral iqala kabusha ukusebenza ngokugcwele ngemva kweSiphepho u-Dorian

EPort Canaveral Izikhulu zincoma ukusebenzisana phakathi kozakwethu kanye nezinhlaka zangaphandle ngokushintsha ngokushesha ichweba elalisebenza ngokugcwele ngaphansi kwamahora angama-24 ngemuva komonakalo. ISiphepho Dorian wagibela i-Space Coast yaseFlorida.

"Ngaphambi, ngesikhathi, nangemva kuka-Dorian sasihlale sithintana nabo bonke ozakwethu futhi sasebenza ngokuzikhandla nonogada basogwini ukuze siqinisekise ukuthi iPort yethu isilungele ukuvulwa ngamaphesenti ayi-100," kusho uMqondisi Wechweba kanye ne-CEO uCaptain John Murray. “Abambisene bethu bemikhumbi kanye nabathwali bempahla baziswa ngazo zonke izindlela futhi sebekulungele ukuqala kabusha ukusebenza ngokushesha. Lapho sesithole imvume, sase sisebenza ngokugcwele esikhathini esingaphansi kwamahora angu-12 futhi silindele ukufika komkhumbi wokuqala kweyisithupha.”

Ekuqaleni kukaLwesine, ichweba lamukele imikhumbi eyisithupha yokuhamba ngesikebhe emahoreni ayisithupha, ngamunye osushintshile futhi wanweba nohambo lwayo ukuze igweme isiphepho. Kwase kungokwesithupha ichweba linalesi sibalo semikhumbi efika ngalolo suku. Ichweba lasebenzisa indawo yokubeka impahla kanti Abashayeli bezindiza baseCanaveral basebenzela ukumisa kabusha imikhumbi ezindaweni zabo zokulala. Iziphathimandla zasePort Canaveral zilinganisele ukuthi izivakashi ezingaba ngu-31,000 zehliswa futhi zangena phakathi kwamahora amane.

Imikhumbi emihlanu yemikhumbi efikayo ithunyelwa ekhaya ePort Canaveral: Iphupho leDisney Cruise Line, iRoyal Caribbean Cruise Line's Harmony of the Seas and Mariner of the Seas, kanye neCarnival Cruise Line's Elation and Liberty. Eyesithupha, i-Carnival Ecstasy, izinze e-Jacksonville, Fla. futhi yaphambukiselwa e-Port Canaveral ukuze yehle futhi ingenise izivakashi ngenkathi i-JAXPORT ivaliwe ngenxa ye-Coast Guard Hurricane Condition ZULU. I-Carnival ihambise izihambeli ze-Ecstasy ngebhasi phakathi kwe-Port Canaveral ne-JAXPORT, eliphinde lavulwa kamuva ngoLwesine.

Ichweba liqale ukulungiselela isiphepho ezinsukwini ezingaphezu kweziyi-10 ngaphambi kokufika kwesiphepho obekulindelekile, lisuse izingozi ezingase zivele ngasogwini nangaseceleni kwamanzi okuhlanganisa nokuhlola izindawo zokubeka impahla nezikebhe, kanye nokuthola izindawo zokwakha ezisebenzayo.

I-Seaport Canaveral, esebenza ngesinye sezikhungo ezimatasatasa zikaphethiloli eFlorida, ihlale ivuliwe kuze kube amahora amane ngaphambi kokuthi ukukhishwa okuyimpoqo kweBrevard County kusebenze ukuze kugcinwe uphethiloli wesifunda ugeleza ngaphambi kwesiphepho. Ngemuva kwesiphepho, amathangi amathathu kaphethiloli aqale ukufika abehlelelwe wona echwebeni eliseningizimu nasenyakatho yezimpahla ngemuva kokulinda kude nogu kwaze kwaba uDorian uyadlula ePort Canaveral.

Ukuhamba kwemikhumbi kuqale kabusha e-Port Canaveral kulandela ukuzimisela kwe-US Coast Guard ukuthi imizila yamanzi yasechwebeni ivulekile futhi iphephile ukuhamba.

I-Canaveral Lock, esetshenziswa yi-US Army Corps of Engineers, kanye ne-Port Canaveral's Jetty Park kanye ne-Exploration Tower zivulwe kabusha futhi zisebenza ngokugcwele.

UDorian ucekele phansi i-Bahamas njengesiphepho seSigaba 5 esinomoya onamandla ongu-185 mph kodwa waba buthaka futhi wahlala kahle ngasogwini njengoba sidlula i-Space Coast, sivikela ichweba nemiphakathi ezungezile emonakalweni omkhulu.
“Nakuba umphumela wethu ubungcono kakhulu kunalokho ebesikulindele, izinhliziyo zethu zikomakhelwane bethu nabangane base-The Bahamas ababhekene nokucekelwa phansi nosizi olushiywe uDorian,” kusho uMurray.
