Rannikkokaupungit varautuvat Hurricane Heleneen, joka on voimistunut hurjaksi Kategoria 4 myrskystä!

Hurricane Helene on päässyt kunnolla vauhtiin ja on nyt voimistunut Kategoria 4 myrskyksi. 120 mailin tuntinopeudella liikkuvat tuulet kiihdyttävät tilannetta, ja nyt jopa Floridan kaupungit valmistautuvat pahimpaan. Tampa Bayn alueella odotetaan historiallisia tulvatasoja sekä myöhäisillan myrskyjä, joten on aika kaivaa esiin purjeet ja valmistautua rajuihin sateisiin.

DeKalb County, Georgia, valmistautuu myös Heleneen, ja metro Atlanta tekee kaikkensa suojellakseen asukkaitaan. Kun myrskyn vaikutukset alkavat tuntua, on tärkeää pitää huolta paitsi omista tavaroista, myös naapurista! Sateet ja tuulet ovat tarkistettujen ennusteiden mukaan ottamassa hallintaansa nopeasti laajoilla alueilla.

Helene ei kuitenkaan ole vain pintaosaltaan vaarallinen, myös sen koko tekee siitä mahtavan ja pelottavan. Historiallisesti iso myrsky tuo mukanaan tulvavesiä, jotka kohoavat jopa 5 jalkaan. Myrsky on noussut vaarallisiin mittoihin ja murtanut monia sääennusteita. Alabama on lähtemässä hallitusti kehittämään varautumissuunnitelmia, jotta kaikki ovat turvassa.

Kun Helene tekee maihinnousua, sen jäänteet liikkuvat kohti Tennesseetä ja lupaavat 4-5 tuumaa sadetta seuraavina päivinä. On kova aika käsitellä myrskyn jälkeisiä ongelmia, mutta yhteisön tuki ja valtiovallan toimenpiteet tuovat toivoa pimeimpiin hetkiin. Toivottavasti paikalliset asukkaat ovat varautuneet, ja energiaa riittää elpyä vaikeista ajoista.

Hauska fakta: Hurricane Helene on yksi voimakkaimmista myrskyistä, mikä tarkoittaa, että sen vaikutus ulottuu jopa Alpiin asti, vaikka myrskyä ei siellä koskaan koeta! Niin ikään, tiedätkö, että myrskyn nimi tulee kreikkalaisesta myrskynjumalasta Helene? Tämä on kuin myrskyn oma muunneltu musiikkivideo — myrsky, joka jatkuu ja jatkuu!
