بدأت مياه البحر تغمر شوارع المدن في الساحل الشرقي للولايات المتحدة، مع تقدم إعصار فلورانس المدمر الذي أدى إلى انقطاع التيار الكهربائي عن عشرات الآلاف من المنازل.

وصدرت تعليمات بإجلاء أكثر من مليون شخص عن المناطق الخطيرة.

وقال حاكم ولاية كارولينا الشمالية، التي يتوقع أن تصلها الإعصار منتصف نهار الجمعة، إن مقاومة الإعصار تتطلب “الصبر والعمل الجماعي وإحكام العقل”.

وتتوقع مصالح الأرصاد الجوية أن تسقط على كارولينا الشمالية في ثلاثة أيام كمية أمطار تعادل 8 أشهر من التساقط.

وبدأت الظروف تتدهور منذ الخميس، إذ شهدت مناطق من كارولينا الشمالية تساقط كميات كبيرة من الأمطار في ساعات قليلة، وأظهرت الصور ارتفاع مستوى المياه في البحر وفيضانها على اليابسة.

وتقول الأرصاد الجوية إنه على الرغم من تراجع سرعة الرياح فإن الإعصار يبقى بالغ الخطورة، بسبب كمية التساقط العالية.

ويقول مدير وكالة الطوارئ الاتحادية، بروك لونغ، إن “الفيضانات تقتل الكثير من الناس للأسف، هذا ما سنراه”.
