2005年来最强风暴肆虐加州16死 豪雨降雪又将侵袭
无情的风暴10日再次侵袭加州,这是数周来极端天气造成至少16人死亡、并让广大地区惨遭蹂躏之后,最新的破坏性灾难事件。
法新社报导,倾盆大雨造成洪水泛滥、公路干道关闭、树木倒塌,驾驶和乘客被卷走,还有1名5岁男童在加州中部失踪。接下来还有更多雨雪袭击这个美国人口最多的州。
根据电力供应追踪网站poweroutage.us数据,10日加州约有16万户家庭与企业停电。
国家气象局(National Weather Service)表示11日有新风暴来袭,加州北部将再降下180毫米雨量,内华达山脉(Sierra Nevada)降雪量将增加数英尺。
国家气象局描述了「大气河流事件的无尽冲击」,这是2005年以来最强大的风暴系统。
英国哈利王子(Prince Harry)与妻子梅根(Meghan Markle)居住的蒙特斯托镇(Montecito)遭大雨侵袭 ,数周来已因豪雨浸透的山丘可能发生危险的土石流,当局已下令疏散。
Here’s a look at some storm impacts across Montecito:
1. Road washout of E Mtn Dr just south of Cold Springs Trailhead. This will be a long term repair project
2. Rocks & mud across Romero at E. Valley Rd.
3. Buena Vista Creek Crossing
4. Slide across Mtn Dr above debris basin pic.twitter.com/VwleNTLjwN— Montecito Fire (@montecitofire) January 10, 2023
居民德穆耶(Daniel DeMuyer)告诉法新社:「因为山就在那里,真的下大雨时,降雨的速度非常快…很快就会非常危险。」
“At this point we are switching to cumulative impacts so it’s not that any individual storm is the big, scary one. It’s what are the cumulative impacts, because it’s really rare for us to get into #storms 7, 8, & 9 as part of a storm series.”-State Climatologist Mike Anderson pic.twitter.com/eeknzHgFJ8
