飓风梅丽莎加强,对牙买加和海地构成严重威胁

摘要

飓风梅丽莎迅速增强,预计将达到四级强度,给牙买加和海地南部带来灾难性洪水和山体滑坡。

飓风梅丽莎在加勒比海迅速增强,预测显示其将达到四级强度,对牙买加和海地南部构成重大威胁。截至周六,该风暴位于牙买加金斯敦东南约130英里处,持续风速为每小时90英里,缓慢向西移动,速度为每小时3英里。

美国国家飓风中心(NHC)已对牙买加发布飓风警报,并对海地西南部和古巴东部部分地区发布飓风观察。预计风暴将给牙买加带来高达25英寸的降雨,海地蒂布龙半岛降雨量可能达到35英寸,导致灾难性的山洪暴发和山体滑坡。

牙买加总理安德鲁·霍尔尼斯敦促居民做好准备,称“整个牙买加将受到多日影响”。当局已关闭金斯敦主要机场,开放了超过650个避难所,并预置了应急物资。在海地,已报告三人死亡,洪水泛滥和基础设施受损情况广泛存在。

飓风梅丽莎的缓慢移动增加了持续强降雨的风险,加剧了受影响地区严重洪水和山体滑坡的可能性。
