科罗拉多州瓦列西托洪水引发疏散

摘要

大雨导致瓦列西托溪泛滥,拉普拉塔县发生疏散和基础设施损坏。

科罗拉多州拉普拉塔县的持续强降雨导致瓦列西托溪发生严重洪水,促使瓦列西托水库以北近400户家庭紧急疏散。上松河消防保护区报告称,溪流流量达到约6800立方英尺每秒,是通常最高水位3000立方英尺每秒的两倍多。事件公共信息官萨拉·雅各布森指出,大约40至50户住宅受到损坏。

洪水还造成了结构性损害,包括瓦列西托溪上的一座人行桥被冲毁。雅各布森表示担忧,坍塌桥梁的残骸可能在下游堆积,影响对交通至关重要的更大桥梁。对此,拉普拉塔县道路与桥梁部门已派遣工作人员清理桥梁上的残骸,并向受影响地区运送沙袋。

瓦列西托水库以北地区已发布疏散令,贝菲尔德高中被设为流离失所居民的避难所。国家气象局预测未来48小时内将有更多降雨,增加了进一步洪水的风险。建议居民保持警惕,遵守疏散命令,密切关注情况变化。
