Isishingishane uMawar sibhodloze endaweni yase-US eGuam ngoLwesithathu, saletha imimoya ebhubhisayo endaweni yamasosha asePacific.
Iso lesiphepho sidlule enyakatho yesiqhingi, kusho umbusi waso, ngemuva kokuthi izibikezelo zixwayise ngokuthi umoya ongafika kumamayela angu-140 ngehora (amakhilomitha angu-225 ngehora) ungabangela umonakalo omkhulu.

“Ngisendlini enosimende namafasitela ami avaliwe. Ngiphumele ngaphandle isikhashana futhi umoya uya udla ngamandla ngenxa yezimvula ezihambayo,” u-Beckie Merrill, uthisha oneminyaka engu-46 ubudala, etshela i-AFP endaweni eseningizimu yesiqhingi.

I-NWS yaxwayisa “ngezinsongo ezintathu” zemvula enamandla, imimoya eyinhlekelele kanye nesiphepho esisongela ukuphila.
Imimoya eseduze nodonga lwamehlo ingase ilethe umonakalo omkhulu ezakhiweni nasezindlini ezenziwe ngezinto ezilula njengophahla olungezona ukhonkolo nezindonga ezingenziwanga ngokhonkolo oqinisiwe.
Ukuhlasela kwesiphepho esiyinhlekelele kusongela ukubangela umonakalo ogwini, futhi izikebhe ezinkulu “zingadatshulwa ekuboshiwe.”

Abantu batshelwe ukuthi bahlale ngaphakathi futhi baqhele emafasiteleni, futhi bangaphumeleli ngaphandle ngesikhathi sokuthokomala kwesikhashana njengoba imfucumfucu endizayo ingabangela ukulimala okubi.
