829. Storm Raid (5/5)
On the first day of the month, the National Day is a great day. The bullet shell will first say hello to your brothers and sisters! I hope everyone has a happy holiday, so be careful and not overeat. Then, take the opportunity to ask for monthly tickets. Although it has not been very popular, it will be updated at least ten thousand words a day after it is launched. I think it should be worth encouraging, thank you! ****
Tropical cyclones are low-pressure systems formed over warm ocean high-temperature waters, and the airflow inside the system is very active; cyclones formed in the southern hemisphere will rotate clockwise, and the maximum wind can reach more than 200 kilometers per hour!
Its transfer speed is also very fast. The weather just changed in the morning and it started to rain immediately in the morning.
Unlike the past rain, this time it rained not just light rain drips and the amount of rain increased, but the sudden drop of heavy rain in the sky!
"Fortunately, it's just heavy rain, no strong wind." Kidd breathed a sigh of relief in the office looking at the heavy rain curtain outside. He had been drawing crosses on his chest before.
As a result, less than half an hour after he finished speaking, the late strong wind arrived immediately. Just like it had rained before, the wind was blowing to the sunset town, and a row of small trees in front of the government was almost blown off!
"Fake, you crow's mouth!" Wang Bo couldn't help but curse.
Kid blinked awkwardly and argued: "Boss, how can I blame me? Tropical cyclones are accompanied by strong winds. This is natural common sense, even if I don't say anything, wind will come."
Wang Bo was too lazy to talk to him.
The strong wind swept through the heavy rain, and the sound of 'bang' hitting the glass was making, as if someone was pounding the window, and the sound was extremely terrifying.
Wang Bo looked out. Because of the heavy rain, the visibility outside was very low, and it might not reach one or two meters. Everything he saw was covered with water.
Conley fiddled with the computer and said, "Rolina is such a bad-tempered girl. There is a storm surge in the coastal areas."
Tropical cyclones will cause strong winds and heavy rainfall, which will cause severe floods and floods. In more severe areas, the surface vegetation may be damaged in large quantities, eventually causing mountain torrents and mudslides.
Although New Zealand is located at a higher latitude and is not a place where cyclones are active, since New Zealand is an island country, New Zealand's local area, especially the North Island, will suffer several tropical cyclones every year.
Although its destructive power is not as great as near the equator, there is news every year in New Zealand that a tropical cyclone landed to destroy houses and damage infrastructure such as roads, electricity, sewage pipelines, etc.
For coastal cities, it is even more destructive. Hurricanes can overturn ships that are moored in ports and near the coast, and when huge waves hit the shore, it is easy to cause severe coastal erosion.
But this is not the most threatening and destructive problem. The most powerful thing about tropical cyclones is that they may cause "storm surges".
Once a storm surge occurs, it will cause sea levels to rise, allowing seawater containing a lot of salt to flow back into low-lying areas on land and allow these areas to soak in the sea water for a period of time.
Seawater contains salt, which can destroy the structure of buildings, corrode metals such as steel, and destroy local vegetation.
After hearing Kidd's words, Wang Bo sighed a little. Christchurch was seriously damaged this time.
Storms and heavy rains were raging, from ten a.m. to four p.m., Sunset Town seemed like a boxing bag destroyed by heavy punchers, shaking in the storm.
Seeing that the rain kept falling, Wang Bo was worried about the drainage system and took Uncle Bing and Astulu outside to watch the drainage problem.
Elizabeth prepared a raincoat for them, and Asulu pushed it away and said heroically: "Why do you need a raincoat? Change into shorts and keep your upper body naked. This is the best posture to welcome the storm!"
Hill next to him looked surprised: "Man, when did you become so manly?"
Wang Bo said: "Don't play any spiritual chicken soup game now, just put on your raincoat honestly."
Asulu explained: "Boss, what's the use of wearing a raincoat? Believe me, I have experience. It's the best way to go out naked in this weather."
Uncle Bing shrugged and said, "This time I am on the side of Astulu, he is right."
Without time to talk too much, Wang Bo nodded and took off his shirt, and then wanted to push the door open and walk out.
With his divine power, this push failed to push the door open!
The wind outside was too strong, and it was a south wind that blocked the door.
Kidd and others came up to help, and almost all the men in the government building were in battle. It was not necessary to push so many people to open the door. It was not difficult to push the door open, but it was difficult to close the door slowly under such a wind.
Otherwise, with this wind, a wind blows through the door and breaks it.
He walked out in the strong wind, and the wind and rain slapped him, as if he was being beaten by a whip and his whole body was in pain.
Astulu was right. Any protective gear in this kind of sky is a waste. The wind is too strong. Once the raincoat is worn, it will probably be blown away. Maybe it will be blown away with people.
I couldn't see clearly in the office building, and the water was rolling on the street outside. When they walked on the road, the rain had not reached their knees, as if a river had appeared in the town.
Uncle Bing shouted to Wang Bo, but the wind and rain were heavy, and Wang Bo could only see him open his mouth, but could not hear his voice clearly.
Although there is a lot of rain, the town's drainage system has not yet been destroyed. Wang Bo feels thankful for the heart of the lake, because the alternative to the drainage system is to lead to the lake.
At the beginning, he spent a lot of effort to invest in the drainage system. Domestic sewage first leads to the underground sewage storage silo. If it exceeds the capacity of the sewage storage silo, it will be discharged to Lake Haweiya.
The latter possibility is to prepare for this extreme rainfall.
After a brief check of the drainage situation, Wang Bo and others fled back to the office building.
The weather outside is too bad. If you stay outside for one more second, your life will be in danger for a second.
The three of them opened the door and just entered, the door was slapped back by the wind with a dull bang. The glass of the door and window trembled for a while, but fortunately it did not break.
"Shete, this is a ghost weather!" Asulu cursed as soon as he returned to the house.
Uncle Bing said, "Boss, this disaster is terrible. I think we have to prepare our escape plan."
"So terrible?"
"Be prepared for any eventuality, and for some buildings, they may need to escape."
There are many buildings in Sunset Town that are built-in houses, and it is indeed difficult for such houses to resist extreme weather.
Wang Bo wanted to call out, but found that the phone had no signal. Conley said: "Maybe an hour ago, there was a problem with the signal tower recently. I guess the line was hung up by the wind, and the signal stations in Aocheng and Cromwell were no longer available and were under emergency repair."
"If you want to notify anything, you can go through our online forum, and everyone is discussing the damn weather."
When Wang Bo looked online, he immediately thanked him unprecedentedly for his decision to build a smart city network system. There is no problem with the network base station and the network can still be used normally.
The overall situation in the town is pretty good, but many houses have leaked air and water. Some of the doors and windows of the houses have broken, but the roofs are blown off and even the houses are blown away.
