Amakhulu e-Humboldt squid ahlamba elunxwemeni eLa Jolla

Yayisisiqalo esingaqhelekanga ukuya kusasa ngoMgqibelo eLa Jolla, eCalif.

Okokuqala, abahlali baxhuzulwa bephuma ebhedini ngo-7.34 am yinyikima ye-4.0 ye-magnitude eyayizinze kwiikhilomitha ezili-19 ngaphandle kolwandle.

“Bendiphunga ikofu kwibalcony kwaye ndayiva ingcangcazela,” utshilo uKate Lutkemeier.

Yayingenguye yedwa.

“Ndive iingcango kunye neefestile zam zihexa, ndicinga ukuba kukho umntu ozama ukungena kucango lwam lwangaphambili,” utshilo umhlali waseLa Jolla uMary Skeen.

Inyikima yavakala kuyo yonke idolophu, nto leyo ingaqhelekanga eSan Diego - kodwa okwenzeka kwimizuzu nje embalwa kamva yayiyintlanzi encinci.

“Sisandul’ ukufika apha malunga nemizuzu eli-15 eyadlulayo kunye noLilly, ubone ntoni elunxwemeni?” UJohn Feher wabuza intombi yakhe encinci.

“Iskwidi, iskwidi, iskwidi, iskwidi, iskwidi.” uphendule watsho.

Inqwaba yeskwidi edazekile iHumboldt, eyayimalunga neemitha ezintathu ukuya kwezine ubude kwaye inobunzima obusondele kwiikhilogram ezingama-40, zafunyanwa zibhabha kulwandle lwaseLa Jolla Shores.

“Kufana nokuba ulungelelwaniso lwabo lumoshakele kwaye abayazi into abayenzayo kwaye abanakubuyela phaya,” utshilo umhambi waselwandle uBill Baumann. "Kwakungathi bafumene - andazi - bonke bangcangcazela."

Akuzange kuthathe xesha lide amangabangaba angena aqalisa ukutyisa ingwane, ngoko abo bahamba elwandle babaleka ukuya kusindisa kwaye bazama ngamandla ukubasindisa ngokuwaphosa kwakhona emanzini. Oko kwabonakala kungumsebenzi onzima ngenxa yezizathu ezininzi: zazinzima kakhulu, zityibilika kakhulu, yaye xa amaSamariya alungileyo akwaziyo ukuwabuyisela emanzini, iskwid sasingazi ukuba masiye kweyiphi na indlela saza sahlala sihlamba emva. unxweme.

“Abanye abantu bebesithi yinyikima ngale ntsasa ebangele ukuba baphazamiseke, kodwa ngubani owaziyo? Watsho uFeher.

Yayingenguye yedwa umntu oye wayikhankanya loo ngcamango.

"Umntu waseburhulumenteni wayephumile kwaye wathi yinyikima," utshilo u-Baumann.

Lifeguard Sgt. UDavid Rains uthe le yenye yezinto ezininzi ezinokwenzeka. Omnye unobangela onokubakho kukuba zininzi izikhephe zokuloba kwindawo leyo, idala umsebenzi obalulekileyo weentlanzi kunye neskwidi zilandela ukutya. Ukwathe kukho ukuguqulwa kwamanzi amaninzi, amanzi ajika ukusuka kukufudumala ukuya kubanda, okunokuba ngunobangela. Kodwa akazi ngokuqinisekileyo.

“Kutheni belapha nje? Kutheni ingwane apha? Andinakukuxelela ngokunyanisekileyo,” uSgt. Imvula yatsho. Andazi nokuba ibotshelelwe na okanye hayi kwinyikima.

Ngokomlindi wokuhlangula, abantu abaqubhayo kufuneka bazilumkele izidalwa kwaye bagcine umgama wabo.

"I-squid yaseHumboldt ingaba nkulu kakhulu kwaye inamandla kakhulu kwaye ingaba yingozi," uSgt. Imvula yatsho. “Yinto nje endingenakuyiphazamisa de uqiniseke ukuba ifile. Baneesucker ezininzi kunye neenzipho kunye nomlomo onjengesikhwenene kwaye banokwenza umonakalo othile. "

Isithethi seScripps Institution of Oceanography sithe okwangoku ababoni nxibelelwano phakathi kweskwidi kunye nenyikima, kodwa baceba ukujonga kuyo. Ukuhlamba iiskwidi ezininzi ngaxeshanye akuqhelekanga kodwa kwenzekile ngaphambili, ngokutsho kuka-Sgt. Iimvula. Kodwa uMary Skeen uthe yeyokuqala kuye.

“Andizange ndilibone iskwidi kule minyaka ingama-42 ndihlala apha elunxwemeni lwaseLa Jolla,” utshilo.

Kuba ngoku kukho imibuzo emininzi kuneempendulo; ngaba inyikima yabangela ukuba ingwane ihlambeke okanye ngaba yabakho ngamabona-ndenzile? Buza nje intombazana encinci eyanceda utata ukutyhala izidalwa ezingaqhelekanga zibuyela elwandle.

“Ngaba yimfihlelo?” UFeher wabuza intombi yakhe encinci uLilly.

“Ewe,” waphendula ngelitshoyo.
