Hurricane Milton hurjaa vauhtia kohti Floridaa! Oletko valmis pakkaamaan henkesi ja uudet flip-floppisi?
Hurricane Milton on tällä hetkellä jylhäkokoisena valtaväylällä kohti Floridaa, ja sen odotetaan tekevän maihinnousun torstaina. Valtava myrsky, joka on noussut kategoria 5:een, on saanut miljoonat Floridan asukkaat pakkaamaan tavaroitaan ja ottamaan jo mahdollisia evakuointireittejä mielessään. Huolestuttavana ennusteena hurja tuuli voi ylittää 180 mph, mikä tekee siitä yksi vaarallisimmista myrskyistä, mitä alue on kokenut aikoihin. Floridan lahden rannikolla on käynnissä massiivinen evakuointi, ja jopa perhoset antavat periksi pakkaamistoimille – kuka nyt haluaisi jäädä takaisin myrskyn keskelle?
Milton on aiheuttanut kaaosta ja epävarmuutta, ei vain Floridassa, vaan myös muilla rannikolla. Monet ovat vertailleet häntä moniin aikaisempiin myrskyihin, ja jo tuo vertaus on saanut aikaan uudet keskustelut sään ennakoitavuudesta. Kun ennustajat puhuvat ”tuhoisasta” myrskystä, on tärkeää ymmärtää, että jokainen myrsky on ainutlaatuinen – aivan kuten jokaisella voikakkupohjalla on oma salainen ainesosansa. Nyt on vain kysymys siitä, kuinka paljon sokeria voi olla liian paljon, ja tässä tapauksessa liian paljon voi olla kirjaimellisesti henkiinjäämisiä varten.
Tuuli on tosin vain yksi haaste. Suuri vaara liekö operaation aikaan saama tulva, joka voi nousta jopa 12 jalkaan. Paikalliset viranomaiset ovat jo alkaneet kouluttaa asukkaita suojautumaan vaaroilta. On kuitenkin hyvä muistaa, että vaikka meteorologit pahimmillaan varoittavat, pitää silti laittaa jalka toisensa eteen: Mutta mihin muuten on vielä mentävä, jos kitarasi on jäänyt kotiin?
Koetetaan aina varautua pahimpaan, mutta Floridan säätilan vaihdellessa niin räikeästi, syytä käydä nauttimassa auringosta, kun siinä on mahdollisuus! Huomaa, että ihmisillä on lähes kulkukoiran vaisto – heti riskialueen merkkien myötä alkaa liikehdintä. Monet osaavat kuitenkin nauraa koirilleen kotona, jotka luulevat myrskyn olevan heidän uusi leikkikaverinsa. Oletko koskaan miettinyt, kuinka paljon tuuli voi muuttaa päivääsi? Kumpa myrskyt vain puhuvat, niin ottaa osaan julkista liikennettä, enemmän tai vähemmän – tuuli vie muutaman kiitokseen, muuta tiesitkö? Tieteen mukaan ilmastonmuutoksen vaikutus näkyy yhä selvemmin ja selvemmin erityisesti myrskyjen voimakkuuden kasvussa, ja Tropical Storm Milton näyttää olevan vain jäävuoren huippu. Toivotamme kaikille Floridan asukkaille onnea, voimakkuutta ja turvallisuutta – muistakaa tehdä varasuunnitelma sekä poimimaan mahdollisimman monta evakointihousua mukaan!
