Abavakashi mabaqaphele: Izexwayiso zesiphepho eGuam naseNyakatho Mariana Islands

Abavakashi nezakhamuzi zaseGuam naseMariana Islands kufanele baphuthume amalungiselelo ukuze baqede ngokushesha futhi balalele noma yimiphi imiyalo evela kuziphathimandla zendawo. Isexwayiso semithelela engase ibe yinhlekelele sikhishwe njengoba iSiphepho i-Vongfong sisondela e-Guam nase-Northern Mariana Islands ngenkathi siqhubeka nokuqina. Umthelela kufanele uzwakale kakhulu kulesi sikhathi sasendaweni sangoMsombuluko.

Esitatimendeni esikhishwe ngeSonto ekuseni ngesikhathi sendawo (ngoMgqibelo kusihlwa isikhathi sase-US East Coast), ihhovisi le-NWS lixwayise ngokuthi "kulindelwe umonakalo omkhulu" esiqhingini saseRota, esingamakhilomitha angaba ngu-45 enyakatho-mpumalanga yeGuam eNyakatho Mariana Islands, e-US. umphakathi.

I-Rota eyaziwa nangokuthi "Isiqhingi Sokuthula", iyisiqhingi esiseningizimu ye-United States Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) futhi ingeyesibili eningizimu yeMarianas Archipelago. Iqhele cishe ngamamayela angama-40 nautical (74 km) enyakatho-mpumalanga yezwe lase-United States iGuam. Idolobhana leSongsong inkulu futhi linabantu abaningi lilandelwa isigodi saseSinapalo (Sinapalu).

Umbiko, osikhumbuza ngendlela esabekayo owakhishwa ihhovisi le-NWS New Orleans ngaphambi kweSiphepho u-Katrina ngo-Agasti 2005, uhlanganisa lezi zincazelo ezithusayo zokucekelwa phansi okungaba khona okuvela kwisibikezelo somoya ukuya ku-130 mph:

“Ukuwa kwezinye izakhiwo zokuhlala kuzobeka izimpilo zabantu engcupheni. Imfucumfucu ehamba emoyeni izodala umonakalo omkhulu. Abantu noma izilwane ezishaywe udoti opheshulwa umoya zizolimala noma zife. Ugesi namanzi ngeke kutholakale izinsuku futhi mhlawumbe namasonto ngemva kokudlula kwesiphepho. Izihlahla eziningi zizonqunywa noma zisishulwe. Izihlahla eziwile zinganqamula izindawo zokuhlala izinsuku kuya emavikini.”

Umbiko uthe iziqhingi zaseTinian naseSaipan ezisenyakatho, kanye neGuam eseningizimu, zingalindela umonakalo ongeqisi kakhulu ngokwesibikezelo samanje.

Izixwayiso zesishingishane zisasebenza kuzo zombili i-Guam kanye ne-Northern Mariana Islands. IVongfong ilandela eduze ezinyathelweni zeSiphepho i-Phanfone, esadlula eduze kwaseGuam njengesiphepho esishisayo futhi manje esihlasela iJapane njengesishingishane esinamandla.

I-Vongfong okokuqala ngqa yaqokwa njengengcindezi yasezindaweni ezishisayo ekuqaleni kukaLwesine, ngesikhathi sendawo, futhi kancane kancane ithola amandla cishe ngamamayela angu-300 empumalanga-eningizimu-mpumalanga yeGuam. Ngokusho kweJoint Typhoon Warning Center yamasosha aseMelika, iVongfong iqine yaba isishingishane ngoMgqibelo.

Umbiko wakamuva ovela ku-National Weather Service e-Guam uthi i-Vongfong manje inesivinini esiphezulu somoya esingaguquki esingu-80 mph, esifana nesiphepho seSigaba 1.

I-Japan Meteorological Agency, ngakolunye uhlangothi, isabiza i-Vongfong ngokuthi "isiphepho esinamandla esishisayo" esinemimoya eyi-10 yemizuzu engu-70 mph. (I-US isebenzisa indinganiso yokulinganisa umoya eyiminithi elingu-1, ngokuvamile okuholela esivinini esilinganiselwe nesibikiwe, kodwa u-74 mph umkhawulo wokuba isishingishane ngawo womabili la mazinga.)

I-Vongfong izogcina ithrekhi esenyakatho-ntshonalanga kuze kube yimpelasonto ngaphansi kwethonya lokucindezela okuphezulu kwe-subtropical high ukuya enyakatho yayo. Ukunyakaza kwayo okuya phambili okushesha kakhulu - phakathi kuka-15 kuya ku-20 mph - kuzoyiyisa ngokushesha eGuam naseNyakatho Mariana Islands.

Nge-shear yomoya eqondile ephansi (ukushintsha kwesivinini somoya kanye/noma isiqondiso nokuphakama), ukuphuma okumangalisayo (imimoya emazingeni aphezulu esabalele ngaphandle nendawo, ithanda ukunyakaza okuya phezulu nokuduma kwezulu) kanye namanzi afudumele asentshonalanga yePacific, iVongfong izoqhubeka nokuqina phezu ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezilandelayo.

Emgudwini wayo wamanje, isikhungo se-Vongfong singafinyelela kubude be-Guam nase-Northern Mariana Islands esikhathini esithile sangoMsombuluko ngesikhathi sendawo (ngeSonto ntambama isikhathi sezwe lase-US). Yize ithrekhi okungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi isibikezelo sesikhungo isibeka eduze nesiqhingi sase-Rota ngoMsombuluko, kusenokungaqiniseki okuncane ngisho nalokhu eduze komcimbi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izivunguvungu zasezindaweni ezishisayo aziwona amaphuzu, kodwa zinezindawo zomoya ezisuka phakathi nendawo yomjikelezo.

Kulokhu, inkundla yomoya yaseVongfong iminyene impela, inemimoya enamandla yesiphepho esingeqile kumakhilomitha angama-80 ukusuka enkabeni, futhi imimoya enamandla yesishingishane ivaleleke eduze kakhulu nendawo. Ngenxa yalokho, umehluko omncane emzileni wesiphepho ungaholela kumehluko omkhulu ezimweni zezulu zangempela kunoma iyiphi indawo.

Okunye okuxakayo inani lokuqina phakathi kwamanje kanye nokudlula kwesishingishane phezu kweziqhingi; ukuqinisa okwengeziwe akusho nje kuphela imimoya ephakeme, kodwa okungenzeka kube indawo enkulu yemimoya elimazayo kude nenkaba yeVongfong.

Noma yikuphi ukuchezuka okuseningizimu kwethrekhi yeVongfong kungase kulethe imimoya enamandla, okungenzeka ibe namandla esishingishane, ngoMsombuluko wase-Guam. Inqwaba yemvula enamandla, ezinye izikhukhula kanye nokuntweza kwamanzi amaningi nakho kuyizinsongo ngeVongfong ngoMsombuluko.

Japan Futhi?

Ngemva kokudlula eziQhingini zase-Mariana, i-Vongfong izobe isilandelela cishe endaweni efanayo naleyo yasentshonalanga ye-Pacific yamanzi isishingishane i-Phanfone esaqubuka.

Kubukeka sengathi ukubheja okuhle i-Vongfong izodlondlobala ibe esinye isishingishane esesabekayo ngaphambi kwezingxenye ezingase zisongele e-Japan ngasekupheleni kwesonto elizayo.

Kungase futhi kwehle ukuthi kubukhali kangakanani futhi maduzane ukujikela enyakatho nasenyakatho-mpumalanga kwenzeka kanjani ukuze kunqunywe ukuthi i-Japan kufanele ibe nesiteleka esingakanani kusukela kulesi simiso sakamuva ngasekupheleni kwesonto elizayo.

Sekuseduze kakhulu ukuqagela ngemithelela engaba khona e-Japan kusuka eVongfong. Hlala neThe Weather Channel kanye ne-weather.com ukuze uthole okwengeziwe ngale sistimu engase ibe yingozi.
