Isimo sezulu sase-Denver: Nansi indlela leli qembu elisiza ngayo ukubika imvula, amanani eqhwa

I-DENVER (KDVR) — Uma uke wabheka inani lemvula noma iqhwa ngemva kwesiphepho esikhulu, ungase uzibuze ukuthi lezo zinombolo zivelaphi ngempela. Kungenzeka ukuthi uke wazibuza ukuthi kungani indawo yangakini noma idolobhakazi lingenayo idatha esohlwini lwayo.

Uma likhithika, i-FOX31 ithatha idatha ngokuqondile ku-National Weather Service, ethatha izilinganiso kusuka kumabala aqeqeshiwe neziteshi zesimo sezulu.

U-Denver uphendule izingcingo ezingu-90 ngehora eli-1 phakathi nezikhukhula zangoMgqibelo
Kodwa-ke, i-NWS ayivamisile ukubika amanani emvula ngendlela efanayo ebika ngayo amanani eqhwa. I-FOX31 izosebenzisa amaphoyinti edatha ahlukene ukuze ibale amanani emvula ngemva kwesiphepho esikhulu, okuhlanganisa nalawo anikezwe i-Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network (CoCoRaHS) kuma-athikili ayo esewonke.

Le nhlangano yaqalwa ngemuva kwesikhukhula eFort Collins ngasekupheleni kwawo-1990 esabulala abantu abahlanu. Ngokusho kwale nhlangano, imvula enamandla ibingakabikwa kwa-NWS, kanti nethuba lokunikeza isexwayiso kusenesikhathi mayelana nezikhukhula liphuthelwe.

Inhloso yale nhlangano wukuhlinzeka ngemininingwane yesiphepho eseqophelweni eliphezulu engabhekwa futhi isetshenziswe yinoma ngubani kusuka kubabikezeli abakha izixwayiso zesimo sezulu esibi “komakhelwane beqhathanisa inani lemvula ena egcekeni labo,” ngokusho kwenhlangano.

Okudingekayo kuphela igeji yemvula enomthamo omkhulu wobubanzi. Kufanele kube igeji yemvula eyenziwe ngesandla, njengoba inhlangano ingeke yamukele ukufundwa kwalezo ezizenzakalelayo ngokunemba, phakathi kwezinye izizathu.

Singahlinzeka ngamamodeli ahlukene wamageji emvula anemingcele ehlukahlukene ngale ndlela elandelayo:

'Kwazamazama ngokuphelele': Isiphepho sicekela phansi izitshalo zenani lika-$500K epulazini laseBerthoud
Kukhona nokuqeqeshwa okudingekayo kulolu hlelo. Lokhu kungenziwa ku-inthanethi noma mathupha ngezikhathi zokuqeqesha.

Ngemva kwalokhu, noma nini lapho kuba nemvula, isichotho noma iqhwa, amavolontiya azothatha izilinganiso ezindaweni eziningi ngangokunokwenzeka futhi abike enhlanganweni ngewebhusayithi yawo.
