Les ravages du typhon Mangkhut à Hong Kong Un grand nettoyage était en cours lundi matin pour retirer arbres et débris des rues de Hong Kong au lendemain du passage destructeur du typhon Mangkhut, qui a aussi fait des dizaines de morts aux Philippines. L'archipel d'Asie du Sud-Est, qui essuie régulièrement de violents typhons, a été encore une fois le plus durement touché par cette puissante tempête. Les sauveteurs ont annoncé que le bilan était passé dans la nuit de dimanche à lundi à 65 morts, après avoir retiré de nouvelles dépouilles du site d'un énorme glissement de terrain dans la ville d'Itogon, sur l'île de Luçon, dans le nord des Philippines. Cette coulée de boue a notamment emporté un abri d'urgence qui était utilisé par des mineurs et leurs familles. Aucun survivant n'a pour l'heure été retrouvé, mais les recherches se poursuivaient, a indiqué à l'AFP le maire de la ville Victorio Palangdan. A voir aussi : Le typhon Mangkhut sème le chaos à Hong Kong Le porte-parole de la police nationale, Benigno Durana, a indiqué à l'AFP que 43 autres personnes étaient toujours portées disparues, et que plus de 155 000 autres demeuraient dans des centres d'évacuation, deux jours après le passage du typhon. Considérée comme la plus forte survenue dans le monde depuis le début de l'année, la tempête a ravagé des zones agricoles du nord de Luçon à un mois des récoltes. Elles fournissent en temps normal une partie importante de la production de riz et de maïs du pays, mais elles sont désormais noyées sous des eaux boueuses. Des décès signalés en Chine Après avoir ravagé le nord de l'archipel, la tempête a traversé la mer de Chine méridionale, son centre passant à une centaine de kilomètres au sud de Hong Kong, et plus près encore de Macao, avant de toucher terre dimanche en fin d'après-midi dans le Sud de la Chine. Deux décès ont été signalés dans la province du Guangdong. Les autorités ont indiqué avoir évacué plus de trois millions de personnes dans le sud de la Chine, et ordonné à des dizaines de milliers de bateaux de pêche de rentrer au port avant l'arrivée du typhon que les médias ont surnommé la «Reine des tempêtes». A Hong Kong, le gouvernement local a qualifié les dégâts de «graves et importants». Plus de 300 personnes ont été blessées au passage de la tempête Mangkhut, qui avait entraîné le déclenchement de l'alerte la plus élevée. Dès que les vents se sont calmés dimanche soir, la protection civile a multiplié les sorties pour commencer à déblayer les rues. Partout dans l'ex-colonie britannique, retentissait le bruit des tronçonneuses coupant les arbres. Le grand nettoyage s'est intensifié lundi dès les premières heures, alors que les employés peinaient à rejoindre leur travail dans des rues couvertes de débris, et parfois de boue pour celles qui ont été inondées. Les écoles sont demeurées fermées, et la plupart des bus ne sont pas sortis dans la matinée, tandis que la circulation des métros et trains était encore irrégulière. Des rafales de vent à 230 km/h Certaines zones ont été frappées par des coulées de boue et de graves inondations liées aux puissantes vagues. Dans le quartier de Tseung Kwan O (est), des rochers en contrebas de la promenade censés briser l'énergie des vagues ont été soulevés par la mer démontée jusque sur la digue, arrachant tout sur leur passage. La tempête, accompagnée de rafales à 230 km/h, a fait vaciller les gratte-ciel de la ville, pulvérisant parfois des vitres et envoyant une dangereuse pluie de débris dans les rues de la mégapole. La population a passé son dimanche terrée dans les appartements en attendant que cela passe, assistant au spectacle des gerbes d'écume dans l'emblématique baie, pourtant théoriquement protégée, de Victoria Harbour. Les villages de pêcheurs ont également été durement touchés. Les ruelles de Lei Yue Mun (est) étaient ainsi couvertes de débris en tout genre. L'étendue boisée de Victoria Park, sur Hong Kong Island, n'était plus lundi qu'un mikado géant d'arbres déracinés. Pour la première fois de leur histoire, les 42 casinos de Macao avaient été fermés avant le passage de la tempête, sur décision des autorités qui avaient été vertement critiquées en 2017 pour leur manque de préparation lors d'un précédent typhon. Les casinos ont rouvert lundi, alors que l'ancien comptoir portugais était affairé au nettoyage, après d'énormes inondations qui ont parfois contraint les secouristes à intervenir en jetski. Des commerçants raclaient la boue de leurs boutiques tandis que des habitants faisaient sécher dans les rues leurs affaires. Paris Match

Climat : des ouragans de plus en plus violents

Sat, 15 Sep 2018 22:24:00 +0200francetvinfo (fr)

Un gigantesque tourbillon de 800 km de diamètre s'est abattu sur les États-Unis et porte un nom : Florence , un ouragan dont les vents ont fait trembler la Caroline du Nord. Aux Philippines, au même moment, le typhon Mangkhut souffle tout sur son passage. Un an après Irma, qui avait dévasté l'île de Saint-Martin, les phénomènes s'enchaînent.

Florence sème le chaos aux États-Unis L'ouragan Florence a fait vendredi ses premiers morts sur la côte atlantique des Etats-Unis, dont une femme et son bébé, accompagné par des vents qui ont déraciné des arbres et des pluies torrentielles qui ont provoqué des inondations, avec des dizaines d'habitants pris au piège. Lire aussi : Ouragan Florence, "cela va durer très longtemps" Au moins quatre décès ont été confirmés de sources officielles. Le président américain Donald Trump se rendra "en début ou milieu de semaine prochaine" dans les régions affectées, a annoncé la Maison Blanche. Accompagné de pluies torrentielles et de vents violents, l'oeil de l'ouragan a touché terre près de Wrightsville Beach (Caroline du Nord) à 07H15 (11H15 GMT), avec des vents jusqu'à 150 km/h, selon le centre national des ouragans (NHC). Lire aussi : En Caroline du Nord, face à Florence, la solidarité s'organise Florence a toutefois faibli en intensité dans l'après-midi et a été rétrogradé en tempête tropicale, avec des vents détectés à 110 km/h. Mais son amplitude et sa très lente avancée --6 km/h-- dans les terres inquiète les autorités. Dans son bulletin de 20H00 (00H00 GMT), le NHC a mis en garde contre une forte marée nocturne, poussée par le vent, sur la côte et des "inondations catastrophiques attendues sur des zones de Caroline du Nord et Caroline du Sud". Dans la ville portuaire de Wilmington, en Caroline du Nord, des arbres ont été déracinés, des panneaux renversés et des vitres brisées sous la force du vent et des trombes d'eau. De nombreux transformateurs électriques ont explosé. Lire aussi : Ouragan Florence : en attendant Armageddon... Des pluies torrentielles La police de la ville a annoncé qu'une femme et son bébé avaient été tués lorsqu'un arbre est tombé sur leur maison. Le père a été blessé et hospitalisé. Des pompiers ont oeuvré toute la matinée devant cette maison de plain-pied dont un pan de mur s'est complètement effondré sous la violence du choc. "Il y avait beaucoup de craquements, les arbres tremblaient", a raconté à l'AFP Shane Wilson, un voisin. "La plupart du voisinage avait évacué. Seuls moi, eux et quelques voisins avions décidé de rester", a précisé un autre voisin, Adam Sparks. "Qui pouvait se préparer à ça? C'est le scénario catastrophe. Les arbres derrière leur maison sont très grands et très vieux. Il y a toujours des risques avec des arbres de ce genre", a-t-il expliqué.Une autre femme, malade, est décédée car les secours n'ont pas pu parvenir jusqu'à elle à cause des arbres bloquant les rues, selon une porte-parole du comté de Pender. Elle a succombé à une crise cardiaque, d'après les médias locaux. Roy Cooper, gouverneur de Caroline du Nord, a indiqué dans un communiqué qu'une autre personne avait trouvé la mort dans le comté de Lenoir en branchant un générateur. Selon les médias locaux, un homme de 77 ans est décédé dans le même comté après avoir été emporté par une rafale de vent. Les autorités ont mis en garde les habitants contre tout relâchement alors que les pluies torrentielles se déverseront pendant de longues heures sur les mêmes régions. "Nous sommes encore en plein dans la tempête et, si elle ne vous a pas atteints, elle le fera", a mis en garde M. Cooper, lors d'une conférence de presse. Auparavant, il s'était dit "très inquiet du fait que des localités entières puissent être détruites". Les rivières devraient frôler voire battre des records de crue et inonder à l'intérieur des terres. A la confluence des rivières Neuse et Trent et proche d'un estuaire, la ville touristique de New Bern, environ 30.000 habitants, a été frappée par des inondations soudaines dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi qui ont piégé des centaines de personnes. Des pluies de cette intensité n'arrivent "qu'une fois tous les mille ans", a lancé Roy Cooper, soulignant que le niveau des rivières "va monter pendant des jours". Beaucoup d'habitants sont restés sur place malgré les consignes Environ 1,7 million d'habitants avaient été sommés de se mettre à l'abri, loin du littoral. Mais beaucoup n'ont pas suivi cette consigne. Et certaines zones inondées sont trop dangereuses pour que "nos secouristes interviennent", a expliqué Jeff Byard, responsable de l'Agence fédérale de gestion des urgences (Fema), qui a mobilisé 1.200 personnes pour les opérations de recherche et de secours. Des volontaires, comme la "Cajun Navy" venue de Louisiane avec leurs bateaux à fond plat, apportent également leur aide. Plus de 680.000 personnes étaient privées d'électricité vendredi après-midi en Caroline du Nord, qui compte environ dix millions d'habitants, selon les services d'urgence. Quelque 20.000 personnes avaient trouvé refuge vendredi dans plus de 150 centres d'accueil de cet Etat. Un couvre-feu a été instauré dans plusieurs localités de la côte atlantique pour éviter les pillages. La tempête doit s'enfoncer vers l'intérieur des terres jusqu'à samedi avant de virer dimanche vers le nord, selon le NHC, avec une "perte importante d'intensité". Paris Match
