Miksi Helene on uusi elämäsi surffailukaveri – tai ei?

Hurricane Helene riehuu Floridassa ja tuo mukanaan enemmän kuin vain sateita – se tuo myös pimeyttä!

Floridan Gulf Coast sai tuntua Hurricane Helene -myrskyn voimasta, kun se iski maihin myöhään torstaina. Tämä myrsky oli kuin Hostessin twinkie ilman kuorrutusta – ylivoimaisen voimakas! Jo vain vuosi sitten alue kärsi Hurricane Idalian aiheuttamista tuhoista. Helene arvioitiin aluksi Kategorian 4 myrskyksi, ja sen tuulet puhaltivat jopa 140 mph (225 kph) voimalla, mikä sai paikalliset asukkaat pelkäämään tulevia vahinkoja.

Myrskyn seuraukset eivät jääneet epäselviksi, kun miljoonia asiakkaita jäi ilman sähköä ja tulvat alkoivat tulla jopa 20 jalkaa korkeiksi. Kaupunkien, kuten Perry, Steinhatchee ja Keaton Beach, asukkaat muistavat Helene myrskyn kuin huonon kesäyön kauhutarina. Se ei ollut vain tavallinen ukkonen, vaan kunnon myrsky, joka toi mukanaan vesiä ja tuhoisasti kävi rakennusten kimppuun. Yli 20 ihmistä on kuitenkin vahvistettu kuolleeksi, ja kuolleet lasketaan vielä tähän päivään.

Helene jatkoi matkaansa Georgiassa, mutta sen jäljet jäivät syvälle Floridan maaperään. Se ei ollut vain pelkkä hetken hurmos, vaan omalla tavallaan historiallinen tapahtuma, joka herätti keskustelua myrskyjen yleistymisestä. Floridan vakuutusteollisuus joutuu nyt miettimään, miten suuri myrskytuhojen tulojen ja kustannusten tasapaino saadaan takaisin raiteilleen. Onko tämä tyypillinen tapaus vai uusi normaali?!

Vastaus kysymykseen on, että tällaiset myrskyt voivat todella olla uusia normi, ja asiasta kannattaa puhua. Tunne myrskyt, uutiset ja uudet faktat, ja muista, että äärimmäinen sää voi tapahtua kenelle tahansa, ei vain supersankareille tai elokuvateollisuudelle. Seuraava myrsky voi hyvinkin tulla, joten kannattaa varautua ja pysyä varovaisena! Luottamus ja asiantuntevuus ovat tärkeitä, ja vaikka myrskyt ovat pelottavia, kannattaa nauraa nykymaailman kyynisyydelle – ja ehkä nauttia samalla huonosti valmistetusta popcornista!
