马丁·席尔瓦 圣卡洛斯港,墨西哥 —— 飓风“波洛”周一逼近墨西哥下加利福尼亚半岛,带来风暴潮、大风和暴雨的威胁,而飓风“诺洛”则以暴雨威胁夏威夷部分地区,尽管该风暴正逐渐远离该州岛屿。
MARTIN SILVA PUERTO SAN CARLOS, Mexico — Hurricane Polo bore down on Mexico’s Baja California peninsula on Monday with a threat of storm surge, high winds and heavy rains, while Hurricane Nolo threatened parts of Hawaii with torrential rain even as the storm edged further away from the state’s islands.
迈阿密的美国国家飓风中心表示,“波洛”于周日晚间为三级风暴,最大持续风速达125英里/小时(205公里/小时)。预计该风暴将在夜间给半岛带来暴雨,并可能引发危及生命的洪水和泥石流。
Polo was a Category 3 storm with top sustained winds of 125 mph (205 kph) Sunday evening, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. The storm is expected to lash the peninsula with heavy rainfall overnight and could produce life-threatening flooding and mudslides.
随着周末接近尾声,“诺洛”位于夏威夷西南远处,正远离大岛,但大风警告、大风通报和高浪通报仍对该岛部分地区生效至周日晚间。“诺洛”的最大持续风速已增至近105英里/小时(165公里/小时)。
Nolo was well southwest of Hawaii and moving away from the Big Island as the weekend drew to a close, but a high-wind warning, wind advisory and high surf advisory remained in effect for parts of the island through Sunday evening. Nolo’s maximum sustained winds increased to near 105 mph (165 kph).
在墨西哥下加利福尼亚半岛上约有5700名居民的渔村圣卡洛斯港,居民周日封窗护屋,工人们运来泥土和碎石加固保护城镇的堤坝。当局称该社区90%的区域易受洪水侵袭。
In Puerto San Carlos, a fishing town of about 5,700 people on Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, residents boarded up homes Sunday as workers hauled dirt and rubble to shore up the embankments protecting the town. Authorities said 90% of the community was susceptible to flooding.
居民担心高潮和巨浪会冲垮屏障,将海水倒灌进社区。一些家庭计划撤离到约37英里(60公里)外的宪法城的避难所。
Residents feared high tides and pounding waves could breach the barriers and send seawater through the community. Some families planned to evacuate to shelters in Ciudad Constitucion, about 37 miles (60 kilometers) away.
“民防部门告诉我们圣卡洛斯这里的人撤离,因为这是高风险区。鉴于当前的潮汐、预期的浪高和风力,他们建造的土质屏障(用于防洪)可能会溃决。他们说挡不住,”渔民罗西奥·桑切斯说。
“Civil Protection told those of us here in San Carlos to evacuate because this is a high-risk area. With the current tides, the expected waves and the wind, the earthen barriers they built (to prevent flooding) could give way. They said they wouldn’t hold,” Rocío Sánchez, a fisherman, said.
预报员表示,波洛将在穿越下加利福尼亚半岛后登陆墨西哥大陆,并可能在本周晚些时候给美国西南部部分地区带来暴雨和洪水。飓风中心称,波洛正以每小时12英里(19公里)的速度向北移动,位于下加利福尼亚半岛南端卡博圣卢卡斯以西约270英里(435公里)处。
Forecasters said Polo would hit the Mexican mainland after crossing Baja California and could bring heavy rain and flooding to parts of the U.S. Southwest later in the week. Polo was moving to the north at 12 mph (19 kph) about 270 miles (435 kilometers) west of Cabo San Lucas at the peninsula’s southern tip, the hurricane center said.
据国家气象局首席预报员鲍勃·奥拉韦克称,太平洋异常活跃,在本已是飓风季高峰期的时候,风暴活动高于平均水平。他说,这种模式与厄尔尼诺年一致,此时太平洋通常会出现更多热带风暴和飓风。
The Pacific has been unusually active , according to National Weather Service lead forecaster Bob Oravec, with storm activity running above average during what is already the peak of hurricane season. He said that pattern is consistent with El Niño years, when the Pacific often sees more tropical storms and hurricanes.
随着波洛逼近墨西哥,墨西哥海军表示,已在该国太平洋沿岸的瓜伊马斯港和马萨特兰港集结人员和人道主义援助物资,并部署了三艘船只,可向因风暴而与外界隔绝的沿海社区运送援助。
With Polo approaching Mexico, the Mexican navy said it has gathered personnel and humanitarian aid in the ports of Guaymas and Mazatlan, on the country’s Pacific Coast, and deployed three vessels that could ship aid to coastal communities isolated by the storm.
飓风预计路径上的城镇之一是圣胡安尼科,这是下加利福尼亚太平洋沿岸的一个小渔村。该镇通全天候电力仅有几年历史,仍频繁遭遇停电。人们担心被冲毁的道路会切断通往医疗设施的通道。
One of the towns in the hurricane’s projected path is San Juanico, a small fishing community on Baja’s Pacific coast. The town has only had full-time electricity for a few years, and still experiences frequent outages. There is concern that washed-out roads could block access to medical facilities.
“我们的居民对这次事件感到担忧,”小旅馆经理格洛丽莉·罗布莱斯·梅萨说。“多年来我们没遇到过如此令人担忧的局势。”罗布莱斯·梅萨周日表示,陆军士兵已抵达圣胡安尼科,准备避难所并为可能出现的紧急情况提供支持。
“Our people are concerned about this event,” said Gloriely Robles Meza, a manager at a small hotel. “We haven’t faced such a worrying situation in many years.” Robles Meza said Sunday that army soldiers arrived in San Juanico to prepare a shelter and provide support for possible emergencies.
同样在周日,热带风暴雷切尔在墨西哥西南海岸远处海域生成。飓风中心称,雷切尔最大持续风速为每小时40英里(65公里),位于阿卡普尔科以南约300英里(485公里)处。目前未发布任何沿海警报或预警。
Also Sunday, Tropical Storm Rachel formed well off Mexico’s southwest coast. The hurricane center said Rachel had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph) and was located about 300 miles (485 kilometers) south of Acapulco. No coastal watches or warnings were in effect.
预报员表示,诺洛的外围雨带可能引发危及生命的洪水和泥石流,大岛部分地区可能降雨量高达20英寸(50厘米)。其他岛屿也预计将出现大雨。
Forecasters said Nolo’s outer bands could cause life-threatening flooding and mudslides, with parts of the Big Island possibly getting up to 20 inches (50 centimeters) of rain. Heavy rain also was expected on the other islands.
州长发布紧急宣言后,全州约400名国民警卫队成员中已有超过120人被激活。唐纳德·特朗普总统近日批准了紧急状态声明,授权联邦应急管理局协调援助并提供资金支持。
More than 120 National Guard members were activated, part of roughly 400 statewide after the governor issued an emergency proclamation. President Donald Trump recently approved an emergency declaration, authorizing the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate assistance and provide funding support.
夏威夷居民仍在从拉拉飓风中恢复,该飓风带来了暴雨和强风,强到足以将大岛上约100所房屋从地基上冲走。
Hawaii residents are still recovering from Hurricane Lala , which produced heavy rain and winds strong enough to sweep about 100 homes off their foundations on the Big Island.
