Ukufika kobusika kuphawulwe yisiphepho sasebusika I-Argos, esizibonakalise kakhulu ezifundeni ezihlukahlukene zase-United States. Lesi siphepho, esokuqala sesizini yasebusika, sibonakale ngoLwesihlanu olwedlule futhi ngemuva kwaso sishiye ingubo emhlophe esesibekele izingxenye ezibalulekile zenyakatho yezwe, ikakhulukazi esifundeni. Northern Plains, isifunda se Amachibi amakhulu kanye nengaphakathi elisenyakatho-mpumalanga. Isenzakalo esingase sifane nalokho okwenzeka ngesikhathi somhlangano igagasi elibandayo eJapane.
Selokhu yafika, i-Argos ilethe nezivunguvungu zomoya kusukela 48 kanye no-64 km/h, izimo eziye zenza kudingeke ukuba izakhamuzi zizivikele emakhazeni amakhulu nesithwathwa. Le mimoya ibe nomthelela entweni eyaziwa ngokuthi isiphepho esikhulu, okubangela amazinga okushisa abandayo ngisho nezimo zomgwaqo eziyingozi. Lolu hlobo lwesimo sasebusika yinto ongoti besimo sezulu abaye bayicwaninga kabanzi, njengoba kubonakala ezimeni ukuwa kweqhwa okungokomlando.
Njengoba ubusika buqala ezwekazini laseYurophu, ingxenye esenyakatho ye-United States isikhona kakade ngaphezu konyawo lweqhwa ezindaweni eziningana, ikakhulukazi Rockies. Isiphepho asizange sithinte lezi zifunda kuphela, kodwa futhi sishiye uphawu lwaso ezifundeni ezifana nalezi Nebraska, South Dakota, enyakatho-ntshonalanga ye Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, kanye nengxenye esenyakatho ye Wisconsin, lapho isithwathwa sokuqala sesizini sesivele sirekhodiwe. Lezi zinhlobo zezimo zezulu ezimbi ziyisikhumbuzo sokuthi imvelo ingaba kanjani engalindelekile, efana nalokho okuye kwenzeka phakathi naleyo eye yathinta ezinye izingxenye zomhlaba.
Ngempelasonto nangezinsuku ezimbalwa kamuva, a Uhlelo lokucindezela okuphansi luzoletha umoya obandayo ovela eCanada, okusho ukuthi isithwathwa sizoqhubeka futhi izindawo zizohlala zimbozwe yiqhwa isikhathi eside. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umswakama ovela Quebec Izophinde ilethe iqhwa ezindaweni eziphakeme ezisenyakatho-mpumalanga, kusukela ePennsylvania kuya eMohawk Valley nasenyakatho yeNew England.
- Wyoming naseningizimu neMontana: 10 kuya ku-20 amayintshi (25 kuya ku-50 cm).
- Idaho eduzane nase-Island Park: 7.5 amayintshi (19 cm).
- Utah: 9 amayintshi (23 cm).
- IColorado eduze kwaseSkyway: 12.5 amayintshi (32 cm).
- Nebraska eduze kwaseHarrison naseNorth Platte: 5 amayintshi (13 cm).
- ENingizimu Dakota eduzane noMholi: 4.5 amayintshi (11 cm).
- ENyakatho Dakota e-Ellendale: 3.5 amayintshi (9 cm).
- IMinnesota eduzane naseWilton: 2 amayintshi (5 cm).
Izibalo zeqhwa zibonisa umthelela omkhulu ukuthi isiphepho esikhona ezindaweni ezahlukene. Lolu lwazi alubalulekile kubahlali balezi zindawo kuphela, kodwa nakubahambi neziphathimandla, ezithatha izinyathelo ezifanele zokuqinisekisa ukuphepha emgwaqeni. Ngakho-ke, kubalulekile ukulandela izibuyekezo ezihlobene iziphepho zasebusika, kanye imiphumela ye-La Niña phenomenon. Izibikezelo zesimo sezulu ziba zibalulekile ezimweni ezinjengalezi, lapho ukuqapha isimo ifu kungenza umehluko.
Njengoba i-Argos iqhubekela phambili, izimo ziyabikwa kuyingozi emigwaqweni. Ngokwesibonelo, i NgoMsombuluko ekuseni, izingozi eziningana ezibulalayo zabikwa ezifundazweni ezifana New Hampshire y Pennsylvania, lapho imigwaqo eneqhwa yayiholela ezimweni ezibulalayo. ENew Hampshire, abantu ababili bashone ezingozini ezehlukene ezidalwe ukushelela.
E-Minnesota, cishe 450 izingozi y 860 ukudilika komhlaba kuso sonke isifunda, okubonisa ukungathi sína kwesimo. Lesi siphepho sasebusika sikhiphe uchungechunge lwezimo ezimbi ezingathinti abahambi kuphela kodwa nemiphakathi yonkana. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela izexwayiso zesimo sezulu esibi kakhulu.
Izakhamizi zaseNingizimu Carolina naseNingizimu Dakota kudingeke ukuthi zibhekane nesimo sezulu esingesihle. Izaziso zesimo sezulu sasebusika ziyasebenza, futhi lezi zimo kulindeleke ukuthi ziqhubeke izinsuku ezimbalwa. Khonamanjalo, iziphathimandla zeluleka umphakathi ukuthi ukhawulele uhambo olungadingekile futhi ulungele noma yikuphi okwenzekayo.
Ngezansi ukuhlukaniswa kwemiphumela ye-Winter Storm Argos ezifundazweni ezahlukahlukene:
I-New York
NgoMsombuluko, izifunda ezimbalwa zaseNew York zikhiphe izeluleko zokuhamba, kanti iCayuga County isebenzisa ukuvinjelwa okuphelele kwemigwaqo kuzo zonke izimoto ngaphandle kwezimoto eziphuthumayo. Phakathi nalesi sikhathi, ibhasi lesikole elalithwele abafundi lisuka eRochester liya eNew York City lagingqika emgwaqweni omkhulu ombozwe yiqhwa. Kulimale abafundi abafinyelela ku-11 kanye nomshayeli, okukhombisa ubungozi besiphepho. Kubalulekile ukwaziswa mayelana umehluko phakathi kwesimo sezulu nesimo sezulu ukuqonda kangcono lezi zenzakalo.
Amakilasi amisiwe ezikoleni eziningi ezisezindaweni zaseRochester, futhi kwabikwa ukuthi ugesi uthinte izakhamuzi zaseRochester ezicela ku-17,000. Izivunguvungu ezinamandla, ezifinyelela phezulu 40 mph (64 km / h), kubangele ukuwa kwezintambo zikagesi, okwenza isimo sibe nzima ezakhamuzini. Lezi zigameko ziyisikhumbuzo esiqinile somthelela wesimo sezulu esibi kakhulu empilweni yethu yansuku zonke.
New Hampshire
ENew Hampshire, kubikwe ukuthi owesifazane ubulewe ngemuva kokulahlekelwa ukulawula imoto yakhe emgwaqeni oneqhwa. Le ngozi edabukisayo ibonisa isidingo sokuphaphama futhi uthathe izinyathelo zokuphepha lapho ushayela phakathi nalesi siphepho. Enye ingozi ebulalayo yenzeke lapho umshayeli ehluleka ukulawula imoto yakhe ebhulohweni elishelelayo, okuholele ekufeni kwabantu ababili esifundazweni. Lokhu kufa kuyisikhumbuzo sokuthi izimo zasebusika zingaba yingozi kakhulu.
Pennsylvania
EPennsylvania, isiguli se-dialysis sashona ngemuva kokuphahlazeka emgwaqeni oneqhwa. Lezi zigameko zigqamise indlela izimo zezulu kuthinte kakhulu ukuhamba nokuphepha kwezakhamizi esifundeni. Lesi simo siyisikhumbuzo sokubaluleka kokuthatha izinyathelo zokuphepha ngokumelene nesimo sezulu esibi kakhulu kanye nokwenzeka ukwanda kwamazinga okushisa omhlaba.
South Dakota
Ngaphesheya kwesifundazwe saseNingizimu Dakota, izimo zomgwaqo beziyingozi kakhulu. Yize kubikwe ezinye izingozi, iziphathimandla azizange zibike ukuthi kukhona inqwaba eyingozi. Nokho, izimo zasebusika ziye zaholela kokungaphezu kwalokho Izikole eziyi-100 ukukhansela noma ukubambezela ukuqala kwamakilasi, into eye yabonwa kwezinye izehlakalo zesimo sezulu esibi kakhulu, njenge UStorm Larry owathinta iSpain.
Minnesota
E-Minnesota, iziphathimandla bezisebenzelana neziningi izimo eziphuthumayo ezihlobene ngeqhwa neqhwa. Okungenani abantu abayisithupha bashonile ezingozini zomgwaqo ezahlukene, kanti abashayeli babike ukuthi ukuncipha kokubonakala nokubihlika kodaka emigwaqeni. Izindlu ezingaphezu kuka-4,000 zisale zingenawo ugesi ngenxa yokunqwabelana kweqhwa kanye nezintambo zikagesi eziwile. Lesi simo siyisibonelo esicacile sendlela isimo sezulu esithinta ngayo ukuphila kwethu kwansuku zonke kanye nokubaluleka kokulungiselela amacala afana ne i-meteotsunami.
Colorado
EColorado, ukuwa kweqhwa kuholele ekuvaleni kwe-Interstate 70 ezindaweni eziningi. Miningi imibiko eyenziwe izingozi zomgwaqo kanye nemithetho isikhishiwe edinga ukuxhunywa okwengeziwe kwezimoto. Kwenye ingozi umshayeli wesithuthuthu ulahlekelwe impilo yakhe ngenxa yokushelela, okugqamisa ubucayi besimo emgwaqweni. Izehlakalo ezifanayo ziye zenzeka kwezinye izifundazwe, njengalapho i-bombogenesis storm eSpain, lapho izimo zazinzima ngokufanayo.
Wyoming
Ukuwa kweqhwa elinamandla e-Wyoming kubangele ukuvalwa kwengxenye ye-Interstate 80 ngenxa yezimo ezinzima zasebusika. Iziphathimandla zinxuse izakhamuzi ukuthi zigweme ukuhamba ezindaweni ezikhahlamezeke kakhulu, ngenxa yobungozi obudalwa yisimo sasebusika. Njengoba isimo sezulu sasebusika sikhuphuka, kubalulekile ukulandela izibikezelo ukuze ugweme izinto ezingalindelekile, ikakhulukazi lapho uya ezindaweni ezivame ukuba neziphepho zasebusika njengalena esibhekene nayo njengamanje.
Isiphepho sasebusika i-Argos siphawule ukuqala kobusika obuthembisa ukuthi buzoshuba. Izakhamuzi ezisezindaweni ezithintekile kufanele ziqaphe ukubuyekezwa kwesimo sezulu futhi zilandele izincomo zeziphathimandla ukuze ziqinisekise ukuphepha kwazo. Njengoba isiphepho siqhubeka, izifunda eziningi zingase zithinteke, futhi kulindeleke ukunqwabelana kweqhwa nezimo eziyingozi zomgwaqo.
