飓风梅丽莎有望成为牙买加最强风暴之一

摘要

飓风梅丽莎预计将以高端四级风暴的强度登陆牙买加,可能成为有记录以来袭击该岛最强大的飓风之一。

牙买加正准备迎接飓风梅丽莎,该飓风预计将于周二以高端四级风暴的强度登陆。如果预测准确,梅丽莎可能成为有记录以来袭击该岛最强大的飓风之一。

根据国家飓风中心的数据,自1850年有记录以来,牙买加仅经历过一次四级飓风登陆。那场风暴是1988年的飓风吉尔伯特,当地称为“狂野吉尔伯特”,约有50万人被迫撤离——约占当时人口的五分之一,并导致45人死亡。该风暴还对岛上的基础设施造成了严重破坏,包括电力和供水系统。

国家飓风中心高级飓风专家菲利普·帕潘表示,截至周日上午,飓风梅丽莎预计在接近牙买加时,其风力将达到四级风暴的最高端。

近年来,牙买加曾受到多次强烈飓风的影响。2024年,四级飓风贝瑞尔掠过南海岸,带来了破坏性风力、风暴潮和洪水,造成超过2亿美元的损失。同样,2007年的飓风迪恩和2004年的飓风伊万也曾掠过该岛附近,导致重大破坏和人员伤亡。

建议居民通过官方渠道保持信息通畅,并遵守安全指南,以应对飓风梅丽莎的来袭。
