受热带风暴“梅沙克”带来的强降雨影响,中国广西地区发生严重洪涝灾害。据南宁副市长丁伟介绍,此次灾难共导致 39 人死亡,其中大部分死亡事故发生在横州,原因是水库大坝部分坍塌引发洪水涌入城市;另有 9 人失踪 [1]。
目前洪水正在消退,电力已恢复至超过 60,000 户家庭 [1]。约 130,000 人被疏散安置 [1]。救援行动共投入了 5,700 艘船只 [1]。此外,还有超过 10,000 名师生被困 [1]。
气象数据显示,部分地区累计降雨量在 10 至 40 厘米之间,重灾区更是超过了 90 厘米;台风“巴威”的最大持续风速达到 184 公里/小时 [1]。丁伟表示:“洪水正在消退,但未来两天部分地区仍有降雨。”[1]
Severe flooding caused by torrential rains linked to Tropical Storm Mekkhala has resulted in the deaths of at least 39 people and left nine missing across southern China [1]. The disaster struck Guangxi, where a reservoir dam partially collapsed, allowing floodwaters to surge into urban areas; most fatalities occurred in Hengzhou due to this breach [1].
Emergency response efforts involved deploying approximately 5,700 rescue boats to reach affected residents [1]. About 130,000 people have been evacuated from the disaster zone [1], while more than 60,000 households have had their power restored as floodwaters recede [1]. Schools and other facilities remain occupied by over 10,000 students and teachers who are currently trapped or displaced [1].
Meteorological data indicates that rainfall in some areas has accumulated between 10 to 40 centimeters, with the hardest-hit regions recording totals exceeding 90 centimeters [1]. Tropical Storm Mekkhala brought maximum sustained winds of up to 184 kilometers per hour before making landfall [1].
Ding Wei, vice mayor of Nanning, stated that while floodwaters are subsiding, heavy rain is still expected in certain areas over the next two days [1].
