飓风梅丽莎加强为五级风暴,对牙买加构成严重威胁

摘要

飓风梅丽莎已增强为五级风暴,持续风速达185英里每小时,威胁牙买加,可能带来致命的风暴潮和强降雨等灾难性天气。

飓风梅丽莎已加强为五级风暴,持续风速达到185英里每小时,正逼近牙买加。美国国家飓风中心警告称,预计该岛将遭受“灾难性”状况,包括威胁生命的风暴潮和强降雨,影响将持续至周二。

该风暴的中心气压已降至892毫巴,与1935年劳动节飓风在大西洋盆地登陆时的最低气压持平。这使得梅丽莎成为有记录以来袭击牙买加的最强飓风之一。

牙买加当局已关闭所有主要机场,包括诺曼·曼利国际机场和桑斯特国际机场,以应对风暴。桑斯特国际机场发言人表示,飓风过后将进行全面评估,以确定何时安全恢复运营。

官员们敦促居民采取必要的预防措施,强调风暴强度可能导致广泛破坏。国家飓风中心特别指出,牙买加南部沿海地区面临灾难性洪水和风暴潮的风险。

随着飓风梅丽莎继续前进,邻近地区包括古巴东部部分地区和巴哈马东南部也已发布飓风警告和观察,正为未来几天可能的影响做准备。
