Iinqanawa zaseRoyal Navy zazisiya eTurks naseCaicos Islands ngoncedo olukhawulezileyo phezolo emva kokuba intsimi yaseBritane ichithwe yi-135 mph yeNkanyamba u-Ike, yongeza kwingxaki enkulu yoluntu eqhubeka kwiCaribbean.
I-frigate Iron Duke kunye ne-Wave Rule, iRoyal Fleet Auxiliary nqanawa, kulindeleke ukuba ifike kwityathanga lesiqithi kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezizayo, ifike kumsila wesaqhwithi sesi-4 esasisongela neRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican, Haiti kunye neCuba phezolo .
UMichael Misick, iNkulumbuso yaseTurks kunye neCaicos, wathi abantu bakhe "bebebambelele nje ubomi" njengoko udonga lwamehlo oloyikekayo lukaIke, apho imimoya inamandla khona, luhlala phantsi kwisiqithi iGrand Turk, kuhlala abantu abangama-3,000 XNUMX. Uthe, "Babethwe ngenene, kubi kakhulu."
U-Ina Bluemel, osebenza eBritish Red Cross kwezi ziqithi, uthe uninzi lwezakhiwo ezingama-95 eGrand Turk zonakaliswe kanobom, zacaba, zadilizwa.

Besineengxelo zokuwa kwezindlu; Isibhedlele sinomonakalo omkhulu. Iingxelo ebesizifumana kwiifowuni eziphathwayo kunye noonomathotholo bezibuhlungu kakhulu ngalo mzuzu. ”
UClive Evans, ugxa wakhe, uthe, “Xa kuvuthuza umoya, kufana nokugquma kweengonyama.”
Yayiyinkanyamba yesibini ukubetha iziqithi ngeentsuku ezintandathu; URhulumente ebesavavanya ifuthe likaHanna, obethe ngoMvulo odlulileyo njengeyona nkanyamba yeCandelo 1, ngethuba u-Ike esenza isitrayikhi sakhe kwangoko izolo. Amagunya kunye neearhente zoncedo zazinefestile yeeyure ezingama-24 kuphela phakathi kokuvulwa kweenqwelo moya emva kukaHanna kunye nokuvala kwakhona ngaphambi kweIke ukufumana izinto zentlekele.
IZiko leSiphepho leSizwe eMiami, eFlorida liqikelele ukuba u-Ike uzakuqala ukubetha iCuba ngokuhlwa izolo ebusuku emva kwexesha lokudlula kunxweme olusemantla eHaiti, apho abantu abangama-650,000 bengenamakhaya ngenxa yezitshingitshane zaseFay naseHanna, kunye neNkanyamba uGustav kwezi veki zimbini zidlulileyo.
"Into endiyibonileyo kwesi sixeko namhlanje ikufutshane nesihogo emhlabeni," watsho uHedi Annabi, umthunywa weZizwe eziManyeneyo, njengoko wayejikeleza idolophu eyayizele ngamanzi eGonaïves emantla ntshona eHaiti ngempelaveki.
Izihlwele zabantwana zileqe iilori zokutya ze-UN zikhwaza "zilambile, zilambile" kwaye iintsapho zakhwela phezu kophahla kunye neemoto ezidadayo zibaleka amanzi.
Amapolisa aseGonaïves athi iingxelo zokuqala zokuba izidumbu ezingama-500 zifunyenwe zidada ezitalatweni bezingeyonyani, nangona inani eliqinisekisiweyo lokufa kwabantu kwisaqhwithi sangaphambili ibingama-252. IBritish Red Cross nezinye iiarhente zisungule isibheno esingxamisekileyo sokuxhasa imisebenzi kulo mmandla uchaphazelekayo. .
ECuba, abahlali kunye nabakhenkethi babefuduswa kwiindawo eziselunxwemeni. Abakhenkethi nabo bayalelwa ukuba baphume eFlorida Keys, umtya weziqithi ezisuka kwincam yaseFlorida ezinokuthi zijongane nemimoya enamandla njengoko isaqhwithi sidlula emazantsi.
Emva kweCuba, u-Ike wayekulindeleke ukuba ahlasele kwiGulf yaseMexico njengesiqhwithi seCandelo 4 kunye nentloko enyakatho-ntshona.
INew Orleans neLouanaana, ekhuphe abantu abazizigidi ezibini kuphela kwiveki ephelileyo phambi kweNkanyamba uGustav, bebegade umkhondo kwindlela yayo, nangona ufundisiso lwamva nje lwekhompyuter oluvela kwiZiko leNkanyamba leSizwe laxela kwangaphambili ukuba liza kuhamba kumkhondo osentshona oya eTexas. .
Kodwa abo sele bediniwe ziinkanyamba kuphela kwisiqingatha seenyanga ezintandathu zeAtlantic ezinesiphepho kusenokufuneka bazenze intsimbi ngenxa yokubi okuzayo, izazinzulu zatsho.
Ingxelo epapashwe kwinkupho kaSeptemba ethi Nature ithi ukufudumala kwehlabathi kusenokwenzeka ukuba kube negalelo kwinkanyamba zaseAtlantic kule minyaka ingama-30 idlulileyo.
