Njengoba iziphathimandla zaseTennessee ziqhubeka nokufuna umfundi wase-University of Missouri olahlekile uRiley Strain, uMfula iCumberland usuyindawo ebalulekile kulesi sigameko esiqhubekayo.
Kodwa, ingabe uMfula iCumberland uyingozi ngempela?
Ihhovisi Lokuphathwa Kwezimo Eziphuthumayo seliqalise izikebhe emfuleni kabili njengengxenye yokusesha okuhleliwe kukaStrain, oneminyaka engu-22, noMnyango Wamaphoyisa waseMetro Nashville. Lo mfundi waseyunivesithi ubonwe okokugcina ngoLwesihlanu ehamba eduze kwaseGay Street kanye nase-1st Avenue, ngokusho kokhulumela uMnyango Wezomlilo waseNashville uKendra Loney.
Abangani bakhe babike ukuthi ulahlekile ngosuku olulandelayo.
Indawo lapho uStrain agcine ukubonwa khona yayisendaweni enamagquma angenza kube nzima ukuthi umfundi olahlekile awele emfuleni, kusho uLoney, kodwa ukusesha izikebhe okuhlulekile ngoLwesibili nangoLwesithathu kuphakamise ukukhathazeka okukhulu ngokuphepha komfula, ngokwawo, okungazange kuphakanyiswe ngumnikazi webhizinisi laseNashville.
UMfula iCumberland udlula amamayela angu-688, usika indlela edlula eningizimu yeKentucky naseMiddle Tennessee ngaphambi kokuxhuma eMfuleni i-Ohio. Udlula emadolobheni amabili amakhulu: iClarksville neNashville. Kunamadamu ayisishiyagalombili eceleni komfula, futhi i-Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency iphawula ukuthi uvame ukusetshenziswa yizikebhe ezinkulu zokuthutha izimpahla.
UKaputeni we-Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency uJosh Landrum uthe uMfula iCumberland uletha izingozi eziningana kubantu, ikakhulukazi ebusuku kanye nasemakhazeni.
“Izikebhe zomfula zingaba khona noma nini lapho kunomoya kanye nemisinga enamandla ezinhlelweni zemifula. Kodwa-ke, ngokuvamile phakathi nendawo yedolobha, umfula umncane, futhi umsinga womfula uyingozi enkulu. Umsinga womfula onamandla wodwa ungabangela ngisho nobunzima obuhle bokubhukuda ekubuyeleni ogwini lolwandle uma zingawela,” kusho uLandrum.
Umphathi wokusebenza weCumberland Kayak & Adventure Company uDylan Schultz uthe kunezimo eziningana ezingadala ingozi enkulu kulabo abahamba ngomfula.
Phakathi kwalezo zinkinga ukuthi amanzi ahamba ngesivinini esingakanani.
Ijubane lamanzi ngoMashi 8, lapho i-Strain yagcina ukubonakala khona, lalinganiswa ngamafidi angu-3.81 ngomzuzwana, ngokusho kwedatha ye-United States Geological Survey (USGS). Ijubane lafinyelela phezulu ngo-10:30 ekuseni ngoMashi 9, lapho lalinganiswa ngamafidi angu-4.0 ngomzuzwana.
“Usuku nosuku, umfudlana uyahlukahluka,” kusho uSchultz. Inkampani yakhe isebenza endaweni engamakhilomitha amathathu eCumberland phakathi kweShelby Park nendawo yedolobha. “Akuvamile ukuba sezingeni lapho ishesha khona, kodwa kungaba nzima ukubhukuda ngokumelene nomfudlana.”
Kulabo abanesifiso sokwazi, umsinga weCumberland uhamba entshonalanga nasenyakatho-ntshonalanga udlula eNashville, kusho uSchultz.
I-National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ichaza imisinga esheshayo njengaleyo enesivinini esingafika kumamitha angu-8 ngomzuzwana.
Izikebhe zimi e-East Bank yoMfula iCumberland zibheke eDowntown Nashville, eTenn. ngoLwesibili, mhla ziyi-11 kuMfumfu, 2022.
Kodwa ijubane lamanzi akuyona yodwa into okufanele uyicabangele emfuleni. Ukujula nakho kubalulekile.
NgoMashi 8, i-USGS ibike ukuthi umfula wawujule ngamafidi angu-24.66 ngo-10 ebusuku. Kusukela lapho usushintshile, izinga lamanzi lenyuka laya kumafidi angu-20.71 kusukela ngo-1:30 ntambama ngoLwesithathu, kusho i-USGS.
Naphezu kwalezo zibalo, uSchultz uthe ingxenye enkulu yoMfula iCumberland ayijulile ngokwanele ukuma kuyo. Ulinganisela ukuthi umuntu ojwayelekile angama emfuleni noma kuphi phakathi kwamamitha ayi-10-15 ukusuka ogwini.
Kodwa, qaphela, 'iyawa ngokushesha,' waxwayisa.
Mhlawumbe inselele enkulu umuntu osemfuleni angase abhekane nayo, ikakhulukazi ebusuku, ivela ezikebheni zokuhamba ezintanta eCumberland kanye namazinga okushisa aphansi emoyeni.
NgoMashi 8, amazinga okushisa ayephansi afinyelela kuma-degrees angu-56, kusho izikhulu. ULandrum ukhombe ukuthi amazinga okushisa amanzi ngabe asesigabeni sama-degrees angu-50, okwenza kube nokwenzeka ukwehla kokushisa komzimba, ikakhulukazi uma umuntu engakwazi ukuphuma emanzini ngokushesha.
URiley Strain, oneminyaka engu-22, wagcina ukubonwa ngabangani bakhe ebhawa laseBroadway ngoLwesihlanu, umhla ziyi-8 kuNdasa 2024 ngesikhathi evakashele eNashville evela eNyuvesi yaseMissouri, kusho iziphathimandla. Kuze kube manje, ukusesha eCumberland akuphumelelanga njengoba izikhulu zendawo ziqhubeka nokufuna umfundi olahlekile. UStrain mude ngamasentimitha angu-6.5 ubude, unomzimba omncane, amehlo aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nezinwele ezinsundu ezikhanyayo. Wayephumile neqembu labazalwane baseDelta Chi ngoLwesihlanu ebusuku lapho exoshwa ebhawa likaLuke Bryan cishe ngo-10 ebusuku. Akakaze abonwe noma ezwe ngaye kusukela lapho.
