[Homework]2014-01-11 特大风暴持续肆虐英国 全国戒备
After the storm, the rain,hitting the parts of the UK that really don't need it. * shore is perhaps best known for its floods,yet again,parts of the town are swamped. A victim of its own geography where rivers converge, its a familiar but frustrating view.
“Personal opinion based on,sort of 25 years of living here,I believe they don't dredge these rivers at all. So of course, you get all the silt which comes down from the hill or as everywhere else,it finds its way to the bottom. So you've got literally,20 odd feet of silt just built up and it leaves nowhere for the water to go.”
In Daven, the search continues for a missing teenager Harry Martin. He was out photographing the storm on Thursday and hasn't been seen since. And a 47-year-old man died in Oxford after driving his mobility scooter along a submerged passway. For the teams working flat-out to try to manage these floods,they are dealing with a familiar scenario. “No winter,the ground just doesn't dry out, so you know,you don't get evaporation,the temperatures aren't warm enough to allow the soil to dry out. So as soon as we go into the next wet spell,although there will be a bit * in the rivers, that would soon very soon be taken up we could be back to square one. So I think certainly right through the remains of this winter,we are going to need to be watching things very careful.”
It all comes from here,the swells of colour that they analyse so closely at the Met Office. “To be honestly, I put it in because they are up to the exceptional those waves.” The chief forecaster on duty Eddy Carroll has worked through 3 decades of weather to see wave after wave of storms is unusual. “This feature here is really whipping up some big waves, way out in the Atlantic at the moment, and they are going to travel eastwards towards UK for tomorrow,it's quite a large swell. And that's going to add to the wind waves and generate some large waves and some surges.”
In Cornwall, parts of this beachside cafe will have to be dismantled once the storms have passed. This rain has just lashed the west country all afternoon. This is Fistral Beach in Newquay, Britain surfer's paradise while not today,isn't it?So by morning western Britain and island will again be pummelled by even bigger waves. For those on the frontline,fixing the mess and drying out are still distant prospects.
