CORRECTION California Wildfires
Umuriro n’inkingi z’umwotsi byazamutse impande zombi z’umuhanda maze umugore avuza induru ubwoba bwinshi ubwo abashinzwe kuzimya umuriro bazanaga n’imbaga y’abaturage bahunze. Aaron Samson yashyize sebukwe w’imyaka 83 inyuma y’urugendo, batangira kunyeganyega ku kayira kegereye umuhanda.
Ku wa gatatu, Samson yagize ati: “Sebukwe yavugaga , niba hari igihe tuba turi ahantu umuriro ugurumana, uriruka ukansiga hano.”
Ntabwo byageze kuri iyo ngingo. Ku nshuro ya kabiri mu masaha make, Umusamariya mwiza yarabatoye, hanyuma abajyana mu mutekano muri Santa Monica.
Guhunga kwabo kwabaye mu gihe abantu ibihumbi n’ibihumbi bahunze inkongi y’umuriro mu gace ka Los Angeles bahinduye uturere twiza cyane mu butayu bwaka cyane, hamwe na chimney cyangwa ingazi zikozwe mu byuma hafi ya byose byari bisigaye mu ngo.
Bitewe n’umuyaga ukomeye wa Santa Ana, umuriro watsembye amazu arenga 1.000, ibimenyetso nyaburanga byamenyekanye na Hollywood kandi bihitana byibuze abantu batanu. Imwe mumuriro niyo yangije cyane mumateka ya kijyambere yumujyi wa LA.
Guhunga birashoboka ko byari bikomeye cyane mu byago Los Angeles yigeze ibona. Abantu bataye imodoka zabo bahunga n’amaguru mugihe amaguru y’ibiti yagwaga kandi umuyaga uhuha wohereje umuriro ugurumana ugana impande zose.
Abandi bamanitse ibendera ryinshuti cyangwa abo mutazi. Kubera ko imodoka nyinshi zatereranywe hagati ya Sunset Boulevard muri Pasifika ya Palisade, abayobozi basabye buldozeri gusunika imodoka mu nzira kugira ngo ikure inzira y’ibinyabiziga byihutirwa.
Altadena yakubiswe cyane yakoze imwe mu mashusho ikomeretsa umutima: Mugihe umuriro wafunze, abaturage bagera ku 100 bageze mu za bukuru ku bigo byita ku barwayi bakuru bahise bihutira kuryama mu bitaro no mu magare y’ibimuga.
Benshi bari bambaye imyenda yo kuryama ituje mu kirere gikonje cyane ubwo bari bazungurutswe kuri parikingi hafi ya bariyeri. Mugihe inkubi y’umuyaga yazengurukaga mu kirere cyumwotsi, bategereje ubufasha bugera. Amaherezo, bose bajyanywe mu buhungiro.
Ku wa gatatu, nyuma y’umuriro mushya wadutse mu misozi ya Hollywood. Gutakaza urugo rw’abana rwimyaka 30, Abimuwe babarirwa mu magana bakomerekejwe mu kigo cy’amasezerano cya Pasadena, benshi muri bo bakaba bakuze batuye mu bigo bifasha.
Bicaye ku igare ry’abafite ubumuga cyangwa kuryama ku kiraro kibisi, kandi bamwe mu bagize umuryango bongeye guhurira amarira ku wa gatatu ubwo ivu ryagwaga hanze.
EJ Soto yasobanuye kuva mu bwana bwe Altadena mu rugo rw’imyaka 30 ari kumwe na nyina, abishywa be, mushiki we n’umugabo saa tatu nijoro nyuma yo kurara no kureba umuriro ugurumana.
Soto ati: “Twari tumaze gufata icyemezo, ntabwo tuzasinzira.” Yategetse umuryango we gupakira imifuka yabo iminsi ibiri yimyenda no kuyishyira mu modoka, hamwe n’ibiribwa n’ibikoresho by’injangwe yabo, Callie. Batwaye imodoka kuri stade ya Rose Bowl bategereza amasaha abiri, hanyuma bagaruka kureba aho batuye.
Babonye amazu atatu kuri bariyeri yaka hanyuma amaherezo yabo, yibasiwe n’umuriro amagorofa abiri maremare.
Samson, 48, yari muri Pasifika Palisades kwa sebukwe amwitaho igihe cyo guhunga ku wa kabiri. Icyakora, nta modoka bari bafite, kandi ntibashoboye kubona inzira yo kunyura muri Uber cyangwa guhamagara 911. Samusoni yamanitse ibendera ku muturanyi, wemera kubajyana no kubaha imifuka yabo yombi.
Nyuma y’igihe gito n’igice cy’isaha mu modoka, umuriro urafunga. Hejuru y’ibiti by’imikindo byatwitse nk’ibishashi binini mumuyaga udahwema.
Imodoka zihagaze, abapolisi bategetse abantu gusohoka bagahunga n’amaguru. Samusoni na sebukwe basize imifuka yabo maze berekeza mu kayira kegereye umuhanda. Sebukwe, uri gukira uburyo bwo kwivuza, yihagararaho ku giti cy’ingirakamaro igihe Samson yagarukaga uwagendaga maze akandika ayo makuba kuri terefone ye.
