Egy 50 ezres lakosú bahamai sziget 70 százaléka víz alá került a Dorian hurrikán miatt

A Bahamákon mostanában nagyon nem idilli körülmények uralkodnak: a Dorian hurrikán könyörtelenül csapott le a szigetvilágra. Különösen érintett a Grand Bahama nevű, ötvenezer lakosú sziget, melynek 70 százaléka került már a víz alá.

📍Hope Town, Abaco. Here’s one single visual of the destruction that Hurricane Dorian has caused. This Category 5 Hurricane ripped through Abaco and is now moving onto Grand Bahama at 1 mph, which means it’s not moving, but only sitting over the island and destroying. This photo is not the worst photo I’ve seen and definitely not as disheartening as the videos I’ve watched. It simply depicts how things can change in a matter of seconds. How your surroundings and environment can go from flourishing and beautiful to broken and despair in hours. How in times like these we realize that basic essentials —like a roof, a bed, sheets, WATER, shoes or food— that we take for granted are the most precious things we can be thankful for. However, the most beautiful thing about The Bahamas isn’t the beaches, it’s THE PEOPLE. We are resilient, strong and when it comes down to it, we are there for our people.

Két napja tombol itt a rekorderősségű trópusi vihar, mely kapcsán Kevin Peter Turnquest miniszter úgy nyilatkozott, hogy

Jelenleg is zajlanak a mentési akciók. Rettenetes a látvány is: katasztrofális mértékű károkra számítunk.

A kikötőket és a reptereket ezen a helyszínen és a közeli Abaco-szigeteken is teljesen elborította az ár, így az emberek kijuttatása sem egyszerű a körzetből.

🌀 La conta dei danni è appena iniziata sulle isole Abaco, mentre adesso la parte più intensa di #dorian sta investentendo Grand Bahama. Successivamente l’uragano sfilerà verso nord parallelamente alla costa sud orientale degli USA. Il bilancio preliminare parla di almeno 13 mila abitazioni danneggiate o distrutte. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 👉 Per saperne di più seguici su ⤵ 🌐 www.centrometeoligure.com 📝 Facebook ➡ LIMET ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 📝 Follow ➡ @meteo_limet 👌 Inviateci le vostre foto utilizzando il Tag ➡ #meteo_limet ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Partners 🔥 @shot_italia ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #hurricane #dorian #hurricanedorian #storm #freeport #abaco #freeport #weather #severeweather #genova #liguria #savona #imperia #laspezia #stormy #jacksonville #florida #hurricaneseason #meteo #weather #bahamas #uragano #hurricanes #daytonabeach #grandbahamaisland #weatherchannel #miami #grandbahama #westpalmbeach #abacoislands #bahamas🇧🇸

A katasztrófavédelem sürgős kéréssel fordult a kisebb csónakok, buszok, teherautók és jetski-k birtokosai felé: az egyik bevásárlóközpontnál gyülekezzenek össze segíteni.

By Matthew Bristow  and Ezra Fieser September 3, 2019, 2:58 PM EDT #Bahamas braced for ‘catastrophic damage’ in #hurricane’s wake Damage to ports and airports complicates the rescue effort Volunteer rescuers wade through flood waters in Freeport on Sept. 3. Photographer: Ramon Espinosa/AP An island in the Bahamas that’s home to 50,000 people is 70% under water after #HurricaneDorian battered it with record force for two days, according to the government. There are “still many outstanding rescue missions,” on the island of Grand Bahama, Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Kevin Peter Turnquest said, in reply to written questions. “It’s not looking good as we expect #catastrophic damage.” Seaports and airports in #GrandBahama and the nearby #AbacoIslands are flooded or damaged, complicating the task of rescuing people cut off by flood waters. Boats are damaged at a marina in the Bahamas on Sept. 2. The National Emergency Management Agency sent out an “urgent plea” for owners of equipment such as flatbeds, jet skis, small boats, trucks and buses to assemble at a shopping mall on Grand Bahama to help with the rescue operation. The U.S. Coast Guard and British Royal Navy sent ships to assist. Unprecedented The storm is now traveling northwest away from the archipelago at nearly 5 miles per hour, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said at 2 p.m. New York time. It could potentially hit the East Coast of the U.S. At least five people died in the storm, but National Security Minister Marvin Dames said this figure is likely to rise, and will include some children, according to a report in the Nassau Guardian, a local newspaper. Humanitarian aid organizations estimate 13,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed in the Bahamas, 🙁 according to a report by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Grand Bahama and the Abaco Islands between them have about 2,250 of the 17,500 hotel rooms in the Bahamas, Resort Capital Partners, a real estate investment advisory firm that covers the region, said in reply to emailed questions.

Az Amerikai Partiőrség és a Brit Királyi Tengerészet is küldött mentőegységeket. Az Egyesült Államok keleti partja felé is elindulhat az eddigi legerősebb itteni trópusi vihar, mely eddig nagyjából 13 ezer otthont rongált meg a Bahamákon. Grand Bahamán és az Abaco-szigeteken eddig 2250 hotelszoba vált lakhatatlanná a 17500-ból, teszi hozzá a Bloomberg.
