Ekubeni iNorth neSouth Carolina ilala ngasempuma ye-seaboard, zichaphazeleka ngethuba lezityhupho-nangona zombini amazwe ahlala esengozini kakhulu kuneFlorida.
Ngoxa i- Atlantic yanyhukunyumba yonyaka ngo-2017 yayisebenza kakhulu kunokuba iqhelekileyo, uCarolinas wayenelungelo lokubalekela ukuhlaselwa ngokuthe ngqo kwiphina iindwangu kodwa umonakalo owenzela umoya kunye nezikhukula.
Ukucwangcisa uhambo lokuhlala e-Carolinas? Nakhu okumele ukwazi ngexesha leqhwithi.
Kuphi na iqhwithi lonyaka? I-Atlantic yenkwenkwezi yonyaka ivela ngoJuni 1 ukuya kuNovemba 30 kunye nexesha eliphakamileyo ukususela ekuqaleni kuka-Agasti ukuya ekupheleni kwe-Oktobha. Ibhethi yaseAtlantic iquka lonke i-Atlantic Ocean, uLwandle lweCaribbean kunye neGulf of Mexico.
Yintoni ebonakalayo yenkanyamba yonyaka? Ngokusekelwe kwiingxelo zemozulu zembali-mlando ukususela ngo-1950, ummandla waseAtlantiki uza kuba nama-stormy winds angama-39 mph, apho ezintandathu zijika zibe yizantya zomoya zifikelela kuma-74 mph okanye ngaphezulu, kwaye ezintathu zintlambo zididi ezintathu okanye ngaphezulu imimoya engama-111 mph. Kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba ezininzi zezi mpuphozi azenzi umonakalo eMelika.
Zingaphi iindubane ezihlasela iNyakatho kunye neSouth Carolina? Ngokomyinge, inqwanqantya eyodwa ukuya kwembini (okanye ngokuthe ngqo, 1.75 iziphepho) yenza ukuwa kweNxweme yaseMpumalanga yase-US njalo ngonyaka. Phakathi kwabo, iipesenti ezili-16 zahlasela iNorth Carolina kunye neepesenti ezili-11 zaza zahlasela iNingizimu Carolina.
Ukususela ngo-1851, iimvunguvungu ezingama-47 ziye zahlasela ngokuthe ngqo kwiNorth Carolina kunye ne-31 zenze i-South Carolina ibetha ngqo.
Kukho ulungelelaniso oluncinane phakathi kweenani leziqhumane kunye nalabo abangela ukuhlaselwa kunoma yiphi na ixesha. Ngokomzekelo, ngo-2010 kwakuyiminyaka exakeke kakhulu, kunye neempuphu ezili-19 ezibizwa ngeempompo ezili-12.
Sekunjalo akukho ncitye, kunye nesinye isiqhwithi esiphezulu sezulu, senze ukuhlaselwa e-US ngaloo nyaka.
Kuthetha ntoni kwizicwangciso zam iholide? Ngokuqhelekileyo, uhlalutyo, kukho umngcipheko ophantsi kakhulu ukuba isiphepho siyakuthintela iholide yakho.

Ngokuqhelekileyo, ukuba uhambo lwakho luchoxisiwe okanye luphazanyiswe ngenxa yesiphango, ungabuyiselwa kumda wokufikelela. Qaphela ukuba kumaxesha amaninzi, i-inshorensi kufuneka ithengwe ngaphezu kweeyure ezingama-24 ngaphambi kokuba kuqhwitywe ngumbungu.

Uninzi lwababalandeli abalahlekanga uphawu, nokuba lube lukhulu okanye lube lukhulu kuncinci kwimbini kunye nobushushu beephango. Ekuqaleni konyaka, ababikezeli babekulindele ukuba i-El Niño yayiza kuphuhlisa, iyanciphise umsebenzi wesiphepho.
Nangona kunjalo, i-El Niño echaziweyo ayizange iphuhliswe kwaye, endaweni yoko, izimo ezingapheliyo zize zenziwe ukudala iLa Niña ngomnyaka wesibini ngokulandelana. Abanye ababikezelayo bahlengahlengisa izibikezelo zabo ngokubhekiselele kwintsebenzo, kodwa abazange baqonde ngokucacileyo indlela ixesha eliza kuvela ngayo.
Gcina ukhumbule ukuba unyaka oqhelekileyo uzisa iziphepho ezili-12 ezibiziweyo, iziqhwithi ezithandathu, kunye neentlanzi ezintathu. Unyaka ka-2017 wawunexesha elibaluleke kakhulu ngaphezu kwexesha eliqhelekileyo elivelise eziliqela ezili-17 ezibizwa ngokuba yimvula, iziqhwithi ezili-10, kunye neentlanzi ezinkulu ezintandathu. Nantsi indlela abachasayo abahamba ngayo nezibikezelo zabo zexesha le-2017.
- I-NOAA (Ulawulo lwe-Oceanic kunye ne-Atmospheric Administration) elincinci elingaphantsi kwexesha, liqikelele "ixesha elingaphezulu" eliqhelekileyo elinama-11 ukuya kwe-17 abizwa ngeempompo, iziqhwithi ezisihlanu ukuya kwezi-9, kubandakanywa neziphephelo ezimbini ukuya kwezine.
- I-Global Weather Oscillations Inc. (GWO) nayo yachazwa ngomsebenzi ongaphezulu kwe-average ngeempompo ezili-16 ezibizwa ngokuba yiziqhwithi, ezithandathu iziphepho kunye neziqhwithi ezine ezinkulu.
