(허리케인 Florence 9/18) 뉴욕 동부 해안으로 빠져나가, 33명 사망, 343,000 정전피해, 캐롤라이나 침수 피해 (호텔 포인트로도 기부 가능합니다)

9/18 Update:

허리케인 플로렌스가 드디어 미국을 떠났습니다.

 

하지만 많은 사상자를 내고 아직도 캐롤라이나 주에는 정전과 침수 피해로 이재민이 고통 받고 있다고 하네요,

그들에게 도움의 손길을 주실 분들은 마모인 답게 힐튼 포인트나 IHG 포인트로도 기부가 가능하다고 합니다.

놀스 캐롤라이나에서 자란 마이클 조던 형님도 $2 밀리언 기부 했다는 소식도 있네요

9/12 Update:

 

허리케인이 상륙전에 세력이 다소 약해지긴 하지만 기사의 표현을 빌리자면 여전히 'Storm of a lifetime' 으로 SC 휴양지인 Myrtle Beach 에 토요일 정도 상륙 할것으로 보입니다.

 

그리고 방향이 남쪽으로 약간 틀어져 상륙후엔 북서쪽으로 전진하여 소멸 될것이라 합니다.

9/11 Update: (10개의 항공사, Travel Waiver 업데이트 했습니다)

 

현재 허리케인 CAT 4로 격상되어 목요일 밤에 상륙 할것으로 보입니다.

States of emergency issued - SC, NC, VA, MD 총 4개 주로 늘어났고

Direct hit을 맞을 사우스 캐롤라이나 주는 해안가에 위치한 카운티들에 주민 대피령을 내려 오늘 오후부터 대피를 시작한다고 합니다.

CAT 5 최고등급으로 상륙할 가능성도 있어.. 캐롤라이나 주 주민 최대 백만명까지 대피할 수도 있다고 예상하고 있습니다..

9/10 Update:

현재 허리케인 Cat2등급으로 격상된 Florence가 등급 CAT 4로 목요일 오전에 캐롤라이나에 상륙 할것으로 보입니다.

NC & SC에는 States of emergency issued 되었고요,

목요일부터 일요일까지 북쪽으로 Virginia 주까지 피해가 갈것으로 보인다 합니다.

9/7 Update:

현재 Florence는 트로피칼 스톰으로 내려갔지만

이번 주말에 넘겨 허리케인 Cat 4까지 격상되고 다음주 화요일에 동남부 해안으로 접근할거라 예상된다 합니다.

그리고 방향을 틀어 바다에서 사라질지 본토로 상륙할지는 지켜봐야 할거 같습니다.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2018/09/07/florence-should-major-hurricane-nears-united-states-next-week/1221294002/

 

 

 

그리고 현재 Florence에 이어 두개의 스톰이 트로피칼 스톰으로 formation을 시작해 서서히 접근중이라고 하네요

본격적인 허리케인 시즌이 시작될려나 봅니다.

 

 

 

 

9/6:

허레케인 시즌을 맞아 얼마전 트로피칼 스톰 고든이 걸프만을 덥쳤었는데요.

 

이번엔 본격적으로 major 급으로 Hurricane Florence 가 Cat3등급으로 다가오는 중이랍니다. 아마도 이번 주말이나 다음주 초에 상륙을 할 거 같아요

부디 별 피해 없이 지나 갔으면 하고 바랍니다..

 

 

 

Group of simulations from American (blue) and European (red) computer models from Wednesday night. Each color strand represents a different model simulation with slight tweaks to initial conditions. Note that the strands are clustered together where the forecast track is most confident, but they diverge where the course of the storm is less certain. The bold red line is the average of all of the European model simulations, while the blue is the average of all the American model simulations. (StormVistaWxModels.com)
