Yintaka! Yinqwelomoya! Ngu ... intyatyambo ye-ladybug?
NgoLwesibini, izazi zemozulu kuMazantsi eKalifornia ziye zothuka xa zijonga kwiscreen seRadar. Ukuhamba ngaphezulu kweSan Diego County kubonakala ngathi lilifu elikhulu lesitshingitshane. Nangona kunjalo, yayingengomsitho wemozulu kwaphela, kodwa yayiligquba leenekazi ezenza indlela kuloo mmandla.

I-echo enkulu ebonakalisa i-radar ye-SoCal ngale ngokuhlwa ayisiyomvula, kodwa eneneni ilifu lama-ladybugs libizwa ngokuba 'yintyatyambo,' i-NWS San Diego yathumela umyalezo malunga nescreen se-radar.
UJoe Dandrea, ugqirha wemozulu kwiNkonzo yeSizwe yeMozulu, uxelele ILos Angeles Times uqikelele ukuba intyatyambo imalunga neekhilomitha ezingama-80 ngeekhilomitha ezingama-80. Iibugs zazibhabha kwindawo ethile phakathi kwe-5 000 ukuya kwi-9,000 iinyawo emoyeni. Nangona iincukuthu zibonakala zithatha isikrini se-radar, ababukeleyo kwindawo leyo abawubonanga umvundla omkhulu, kodwa endaweni yoko, amachaphaza amancinci abhabha, ngokweDandrea.
Iincukuthu, I-NBC ixeliwe , ziye zabonwa ngombulelo kwi-radar eneenkcukacha eziphezulu ezithunyelwe yi-National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Inkqubo ebizwa ngokuba yi-NEXRAD, okanye i-Next-Generation Radar, ivumela imifanekiso eneenkcukacha ezihlala zithatha ubugqwetha, imfuduko enkulu, kunye neefama zomoya kwilizwe liphela.
ILos Angeles Times uxele oko California likhaya leentlobo ezingama-200 zooqongqothwane, kuquka nongqongqothwane oguqukayo. Nangona kunjalo, bekungekacaci kwangoko ukuba loluphi uhlobo lwe-ladybug olubangele ukuthatha i-radar.
Icaphula iYunivesithi yaseCalifornia eDityanisiweyo yeNkqubo yoLawulo lweZinambuzane, iphepha laphinda lachaza ukuba unyaka nonyaka entwasahlobo, xa amaqondo obushushu efikelela kuma-65 degrees okanye ngaphezulu kule ndawo, umntu omdala oguqukayo iqabane kwaye ifuduke isuka eSierra Nevada iye kwiindawo ezisentlanjeni ukuze ichithe iiaphids kwaye izalele amaqanda. Kwandula ke, ekuqaleni kwehlobo, ooqongqothwane bafudukele kwiindawo eziphakamileyo ukuze batye baze baqale yonke inkqubo kwakhona.
