视频: 第二场暴风雪袭击美东西海岸

上周末来临的新年第二场炸弹式的旋风“bomb cyclone” 席卷了美国东西海岸。

美西海岸遭遇创纪录的降雨和强风的,包括北加州、俄勒冈州和华盛顿州等地区。

由于大气压力迅速下降,这场风暴在卡尔多大火的燃烧痕迹附近造成了洪水和泥石流。

周日,加州有超过10万户家庭和企业断电。在泥石流堵塞道路后,70号州际公路仍然关闭。

在华盛顿,超过17万人断电,一棵树倒在他们的车上,造成两人死亡。

“严肃对待”:随着加利福尼亚“炸弹旋风”风暴向东移动,纽约、新泽西宣布紧急情况。

从封闭道路的泥石流到洪水泛滥的街道,山体滑坡、洪水泛滥…..

“bomb cyclone” 导致洪水爆发,袭击了纽约和其他东海岸地区。

这场风暴已经席卷全国,纽约市正在为周二高达5英寸的降雨做准备。本周一,纽约和新泽西宣布进入紧急状态。

美国东北部地区今天遭到暴风雪侵袭,也就是大家熟知的“炸弹气旋”(Bomb cyclone),使数百航班遭到取消,学校停课,开车上路也暗藏危险。

气象学家指出,“炸弹气旋”就像是冬季的飓风,当气压迅速减低,在24小时内至少下降24毫巴时,就会形成大雪与强风。

这场风暴使肯塔基州、田纳西州和田州纳希维尔市(Nashville)出现降雪,接着是维吉尼亚州与华盛顿特区,然后北上大西洋沿岸。

私人气象预报服务公司AccuWeather气象学家凯恩(Tom Kines)告诉法新社:“当气旋的威力在邻近海岸地区增强后,就会成为东岸城市的一个大风暴。”

美国国家气象局(NWS)在纽约市拉瓜迪亚机场(LaGuardia)记录到超过8英寸(20.32公分)厚的积雪,因此截至上午9时15分,已有340个航班取消。

机场在推特发文说,取消的航班数“预料将增加”。

附近的肯尼迪国际机场(JFK)通报,有220个航班取消,波士顿洛根国际机场(Logan International Airport)也有250个航班取消。

美国国家气象局表示,目前最高的降雪纪录出现在纽约州邻近加拿大边界的奇克托瓦加镇(Cheektowaga),积雪厚达18英寸。

在马萨诸塞州,厚厚积雪使得数百所学校停课,但纽约市四处都有铲雪车,市长亚当斯(Eric Adams)下令公立学校继续上课。

亚当斯说,“孩子们需要上学”,学校曾因疫情而停课许久;“我们没有更多时间可以浪费。让孩子待在家里的长期影响,会在未来数年间出现。”

新泽西州州长墨菲(Phil Murphy)宣布进入紧急状态,部分学区称今天是“下雪日”。

墨菲在推特发文说:“我们呼吁新泽西民众不要开车上路,持续关注气象动态,并保持安全。”

根据美国国家气象局,冬季风暴警报发布对象也包含缅因州。
