Ugu olungalibaleki luwumugqa wethegi we-Mexico Beach, eFlorida Namuhla alisekho i-Mexico Beach ngokombiko we-CNN osesigcawini namuhla ekuseni. I-Mexico Beach yidolobha eliseBay County, eFlorida, e-United States. Inani labantu laliyi-1,072 ekubalwa kwabantu kwango-2010. Iyingxenye yedolobha lasePanama-Lynn Haven. Namuhla uMbusi waseFlorida u-Rick Scott uthi i-Florida National Guard yangena e-Mexico Beach futhi yathola abantu abangu-20 abasinda ekushayweni okuqondile kweSiphepho uMichael.
Isimo eMexico City, eFlorida sibi kakhulu ngemva kokuthatha ukushaya okuqondile ngemimoya engu-150 miles lapho iSiphepho uMichael sishaya leli dolobhana elincane. Ngokusho kwabafundi be-eTN, amabhishi alungile, idolobha licekeleke phansi, kodwa leli dolobha elincane elingasogwini lisetshenziswa njengesibonelo kwabezindaba abaningi uma bebheka izithombe ezicekela phansi. Isikhathi sizobonisa ukuthi usakazeke kangakanani ngempela umonakalo emadolobheni asogwini lwaseFlorida.
Ngokusho kwamawebhusayithi ezokuvakasha, ngokungafani nezindawo eziya eningizimu, i-Mexico Beach ihlangabezana nezinguquko ezimfushane, ezicashile zesizini. Ihlobo lipholile futhi liyamangalisa futhi ubusika buzolile futhi bukhululekile, kodwa abantu abaningi bendawo bakhetha intwasahlobo nekwindla.
Leli dolobhana linomlando omangalisayo othunyelwe kuwebhusayithi yalo:
Ngesikhathi “sokutholwa” kwaseYurophu, amaNdiya angama-Apalachee ayehlala endaweni namuhla ebizwa ngokuthi i-Mexico Beach. Umnqobi waseSpain uPánfilo de Narváez wahola uhambo lokuya endaweni ehlobo lika-1528 futhi wahlaselwa ibutho eliphakeme lamaqhawe e-Apalachee. Njengoba abaseSpain behlehla ngasemfuleni i-Wakulla ne-St. Marks, ama-Apalachee aqhuba umkhankaso wokulwa nawo, ekugcineni aphoqelela abanqobi ukuba baye eGulf of Mexico. Lapho, belambile futhi sebedlile amahhashi abo, bakha ngokushesha inqwaba yezihlenga futhi balibangisa eNew Spain (eMexico).
AbaseSpain babezobuya ngo-1539 nohambo lwamasosha angama-550 oluholwa nguHernando de Soto. Lolu hambo lusondele e-Mexico Beach e-Tallahassee yanamuhla. ITallahassee yayizoba inhloko-dolobha yaseSpain Florida futhi ihlale kanjalo ize idayiswe eNgilandi ukuze ilawule iHavana, eCuba. Ama-Apalachee, inani lawo elancishiswa ngokungqubuzana namaSpanishi kanye nokuchayeka ezifweni ayengenawo ukuzivikela okungokwemvelo, ekugcineni aqedwa.
Ngenxa yeMpi Yeminyaka Eyisikhombisa neFrance neSpain, iGreat Britain yazithola isiyiphethe yonke indawo yaseFrance esempumalanga yoMfula iMississippi, kanye nendawo eyayikhishwe umfelandawonye weFrance iSpain. Ithola iFlorida inzima kakhulu ukuthi ingabusa njengenhlangano eyodwa, iBrithani yayihlukanisa yaba yizindawo ezimbili ezihlukene: IMpumalanga neNtshonalanga Florida.
IMexico Beach yawela endaweni yaseWest Florida, eyakha indawo evame ukubizwa ngokuthi “iPanhandle.” Le ndawo izophinde ibangwe ngesikhathi seMpi Yenguquko YaseMelika futhi, ngokunqoba kweMelika iBritish, impahla yabuyela eSpain njengoba ivikelwe yiSivumelwano SaseParis ngo-1783.
Indawo kanye ne-Statehood
AbaseSpain baqhubekisela phambili umkhuba waseBrithani wokubusa indawo njengeMpumalanga naseNtshonalanga Florida, kodwa ngokushesha bahileleka engxabanweni yomngcele ne-United States. Ukungezwani phakathi kwabahlali baseSpain nabaseMelika, kanye nezimpi phakathi kwezizwe zombili namaNdiya angamaSeminole, ekugcineni kuholele ekutheni iFlorida idayiswe e-United States ukuze kwamukelwe izimangalo zaseSpain eTexas.
IMpumalanga neNtshonalanga Florida yahlanganiswa futhi iFlorida yaba indawo yase-US ngo-1822, neTallahassee njengenhloko-dolobha yayo. Ngo-1845, iFlorida yaba yisifunda sama-27.
Indawo ehlanganisa iMexico Beach izobona intuthuko encane kakhulu eminyakeni engama-60 ezayo. I-US Navy yavimbezela iGulf Coast phakathi neMpi Yombango, kuyilapho iNyakatho igasela indawo ebalulekile kasawoti eseduze endaweni manje ebizwa ngokuthi yiPanama City, futhi kwaliwa izimpi ezincane ezimbalwa endaweni. Abagijimi be-blockade bashushumbisa ukotini, kanye nezinto zempi ezibalulekile kanye nemali bangena kuyo, endaweni ngaphansi kwesembozo sasebusuku.
IMpi Yezwe II
Impi neJalimane yafika ngasogwini lwaseMexico Beach ehlobo lika-1942. Ngo-June walowo nyaka, umkhumbi kawoyela waseBrithani u-Empire Mica wawusuka eBaytown, eTexas, ugcwele uwoyela ulibangise oGwini Olusempumalanga. Ukuze kugwenywe imikhumbi-ngwenya yaseJalimane, imikhumbi engagadiwe yayalwa ukuba ihambe emini futhi ilele esikhumulweni semikhumbi esiseduze ebusuku. EPort St. Joe, izisebenzi zase-Empire Mica zathola ukuthi umkhumbi wazo wawumkhulu kakhulu ukuba ungangena futhi wawuqhubeka ebusuku. I-oiler engahlomile futhi engaphelezelwanga, efakwe inyanga egcwele esibhakabhakeni esicwathile, yayiyisisulu esilula ngisho nezisebenzi zesikebhe eziluhlaza kakhulu. Umkhumbi waphephuka wacwila ngo-1:00 ekuseni ngoJuni 29, kwashona abasebenzi abangu-33. Phakathi nentwasahlobo nehlobo lika-1942, izikebhe zaseJalimane zasebenza ngokukhululekile eGulf of Mexico, zicwilisa imikhumbi Yezizwe Ezihlangene esuka eTexas iya eFlorida. Ekupheleni kwempi, iJalimane yayisithumele imikhumbi engu-56 ezansi neGulf.
Okunye ukuphahlazeka komkhumbi okuphawulekayo kwenzeka ngo-1942, ngaphansi kwamakhilomitha angaphansi kwamane ukusuka ogwini lwaseMexico Beach. Umkhumbi othutha ama-tramp u-Vamar ekuqaleni wawakhelwe njengesikebhe sokuhamba ngesibhamu se-British Admiralty futhi kamuva wangena endaweni obala njengelungu lemikhumbi ye-Admiral Byrd's Antarctic's expeditionary. NgeMpi Yezwe II, umkhumbi—owawuzuze idumela ngezimfanelo ezimbi zokulondoloza ulwandle—wawusewohloke. Njengoba ugcwele futhi usinda kakhulu, umkhumbi wasuka ePort St. Joe uthwele izingodo eziya eCuba. Ngokushesha ngemva kokususa isiteshi, umkhumbi wacwila ngaphansi kwezimo ezisolisayo. Abasebenzi babuyele ogwini bephephile phakathi kwamahlebezi okucekelwa phansi kwempi kanye nezinsolo zokuzama ukucwilisa umkhumbi ngomzamo wokuvala ukungena echwebeni. Imbangela yokucwila kwayo ibingakatholakali kanti lesi sigameko sisagubuzelwe yimpicabadala.
Ngemuva kweMpi
Izenzakalo ezimbili zakhuthaza “ukutholwa” nokuthuthukiswa kweMexico Beach, njengoba ikhona namuhla: Ukuqedwa komgwaqo onguthelawayeka 98 phakathi nawo-1930 nokwakhiwa kweTyndall Field ngo-1941. Izinkulungwane zezisebenzi ze-Army Air Corps zethulwa emabhishi amahle anesihlabathi esimhlophe. njengoba bedlula endaweni yokuzilolonga besendleleni eya empini. Ngo-1946, iqembu losomabhizinisi bendawo okuhlanganisa uGordon Parker, WT McGowan, kanye no-JW Wainright bathenga amahektha ayi-1,850 endawo engasebhishi futhi baqala ukuthuthuka.
I-Mexico Beach yakhula kancane kodwa kancane kancane ngeminyaka yawo-1950 kanye nama-60s. Ngo-1955, i-Mexico Beach Canal yaqedwa, ihlinzeka abagibeli bezikebhe ngokufinyelela okusheshayo, okulula, nokuphephile eGulf. Ngo-1967, leli dolobhana lafakwa ngokusemthethweni njengeDolobha laseMexico Beach.
I-Mexico Beach yaziwa ngokushesha ngokudoba kwayo okuningi kwezemidlalo. Ukudoba bekulokhu, futhi kusasele, kungenye yezinto ezidonsa kakhulu kuleli dolobha. I-Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association, isebenzisana eduze ne-Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission kanye ne-United States Army Corps of Engineers, isungule ama-patch reef angaphezu kuka-1,000 endaweni yokufinyelela kalula ogwini. Lolu hlelo lube yimpumelelo enkulu, luheha inqwaba yezinhlobo nezinombolo zezinhlanzi nezinye izilwane zasolwandle e-Mexico Beach nokwenza le ndawo ibe indawo ethandwa kakhulu abadobi bezemidlalo.
Namuhla
Ngokuhluke kakhulu emiphakathini engomakhelwane egudle iGulf Coast, iMexico Beach ibukeka namuhla njengoba yayinjalo emashumini eminyaka adlule. Ukuthuthukiswa kwezentengiselwano kuvinjelwe futhi kuvinjiwe. Ngaphezulu kwemayela lendawo engasebhishi ivikelwe ekuthuthukisweni, inikela ngemibono engavimbekile yolwandle oluhle olunesihlabathi esimhlophe kanye namanzi e-emerald Gulf. Amabhizinisi cishe ayizikhungo zasendaweni “zomama ne-pop” kuphela. I-Mexico Beach iyindaba eyimpumelelo yokulondolozwa.
Nakuba iDolobha laseMexico Beach namuhla linezakhamuzi eziyi-1,000 nje kuphela, izizukulwane zezivakashi ezivela kuwo wonke umhlaba zithole leli dolobhana elinokuthula, eliyiqiniso, nelinobungani bomndeni. Iningi labavakashile libuya unyaka nonyaka ohambweni lwalo oluya ezihlabathini ezimhlophe zaseGulf Coast.
Siyaqiniseka ukuthi obaba abasunguli nemindeni ephayona eyenza i-Mexico Beach yaba indawo eyiyo namuhla bangaziqhenya ngemiphumela eqhubekayo yemizamo yabo kanye nezinkumbulo eziningi ezijabulisayo ezidalwe lapha.
