【陈琳5月8日休斯敦】虽然上要到6月才进入季,但一轮猛烈的强降雨已经给休斯敦的多个地区带来了洪涝灾害。始于7日的这轮降雨在当天下午及夜间导致本德堡县和哈里斯县的多地受损,休斯敦市、舒格兰市(Sugar
Land)、尼德维尔市(Needville)、罗森伯格市(Rosenberg)等地区的多个区域因为路面积水而封闭,甚至在个别区域还出现了垮塌的现象。在进入周三白天以后,虽然大部分路段暂时恢复通行,但根据天气预报,周三下午还会有一轮强风暴,而本周四到周六之间可能还会有大范围洪水,整个降雨将持续到下周四左右。

7日晚的暴雨,使得许多地方在短时间内下了8至10英寸的降雨,休斯敦北部和西南部地区普遍泛洪,很多人被困在路上回不了家,不少高速路段拥堵不堪。在克里夫兰独立学区(Cleveland
isd)的Southside Elementary
School,一度有约800名被困在学校里无法回家,待家长陆续将们接走后,仍有约60名学生最后只能待在学校馆里过夜,好在学校处置及时,给孩子们安排了晚餐、,并提供夜间取暖的垫子和被子。至8日上午,克里夫兰独立学区以及本德堡独立学区的四所学校均因为洪水而宣布停学一天。

We have activated additional rescue boats to support our local
partners in the Houston & Harris County area. Stay safe &

在7日晚的暴雨中,不仅道路被淹无法通行,因雷暴导致的停电现象也在多个区域发生。很多人家在黑暗中度过这个漫长的风雨之夜,一时间,像极了2017年“哈维”飓风时的景象。
事实上,自“哈维”以来,大休斯敦地区一直在对重点河道进行拓宽,并对整个疏浚系统进行整治,但是,一旦遇到短时集中强降雨,市政的抗洪能力仍然会遇到挑战。对于在某些高危地区居住的市民来说,逢暴雨就心慌,已经成为挥之不去的阴影。而一些为了防范万一而特地购置小船,也已经成为休斯敦一景。

Flooding continues to develop in the Houston
metro area where 6+ inches of rain has fallen. As the sun sets, it
is time to stay off the roads for the night. You will not be able
to see how deep flood waters are. Just stay home. pic.twitter.com/eucOKZoJJt— The Weather Channel (@weatherchannel)
