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,促使牙买加和海地发布警告,该地区面临灾难性洪水和山体滑坡的威胁。

飓风梅丽莎迅速增强,目前对加勒比地区,特别是牙买加和海地构成重大威胁。美国国家飓风中心(NHC)报告称,梅丽莎目前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,正以每小时3英里的速度缓慢向西移动。

NHC已对牙买加发布飓风警告,并对海地西南半岛发布飓风观察预警。预报显示,梅丽莎可能加强为重大飓风,预计到周一早些时候达到4级飓风标准。预计该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,引发灾难性闪洪、山体滑坡和长期停电的担忧。

牙买加总理安德鲁·霍尔内斯敦促居民认真对待威胁并做好准备。当地当局已关闭金斯敦主要机场,启用了650多个避难所,并预置了应急物资。在海地,官员报告称风暴已造成3人死亡、5人受伤,同时河流水位上升、洪水泛滥及基础设施受损。

梅丽莎的缓慢移动增加了持续强降雨和洪水的风险。预计该风暴将在下周初影响古巴东部,部分地区降雨量可能达到12英寸。受影响地区居民被建议保持信息畅通,遵循当地当局的指导。
