Chapter 421: The Water Level Is Rising, It's Time to Move!(Ask for Subscription)
The rain kept falling.
But it's significantly smaller.
It's not enough to pose any threat.
After a few opening remarks.
Lu Yu briefly introduced his situation to everyone.
Then he took the clay pot and followed the path in the jungle all the way to the water source.
Replenishing fresh water is secondary.
The most important thing is that he wants to stop by to see if the water level of the river has changed.
The surge in rainfall can easily induce flash floods.
Similar situations happen from time to time.
You have to pay attention to it.
I'm going to leave in a few days.
Lu Yu didn't want any more accidents at this juncture.
"Flash floods are mainly affected by heavy rainfall, and the occurrence of flash floods is consistent with the occurrence of heavy rainfall. ”
"Even if there is a deviation, it will not be too long. ”
"A flash flood is not a slow accumulation of rainfall in a valley, but an instantaneous eruption of a large body of water in a rock and soil crack in the mountain that breaks through the surface cover due to pressure overrun!"
"From discovery to danger, it's often a matter of seconds!"
The island's mountain microclimate is complex and has limited visibility.
In the event of light rain or a stop in the middle and lower reaches of the valley, it is likely that a heavy downpour is falling in the upper reaches of the valley out of sight......
If that were the case, flash floods would hit once the rainfall exceeded the load of the surface rock formations.
This is also one of the important reasons why, after the wind and rain stopped, Lu Yu immediately set off for the water source.
"If you're an outdoor hiker, it's important to remember that it's best not to go back to the river on rainy days, or even for two or three days after the rain. ”
"There are three risks. ”
"First, there is a great possibility of flash floods in the mountains during the rainy season or even in the short term after the rain, for reasons I have said many times. ”
"Second, within a few days after the rain, the streams and paths are slippery, and it is easy to slip and fall. ”
"Third, during the rainy period and within two or three days after the rain, the probability of a landslide collapse on a steep slope is much higher than normal. In summary, no matter how experienced you are, it's important to stay away from the mountains and valleys when it rains. ”
"Torrents are merciless. From hearing the sound of water to seeing water, there are only three or four seconds at most. ”
Between words.
Lu Yu walked through the woods and walked to the stream.
Stand on the bank of the river and look up.
The result was exactly as expected.
The sudden increase in rainfall has caused the water level to rise sharply.
The rushing stream was originally just a trickle.
But now it is almost over the riverbank.
"Hoo ——!"
Looking at the flow of water, Lu Yu let out a long breath, and his heart was not good.
Follow.
His brow furrowed.
"The water level has risen a lot, and it seems that the situation on the north shore should be very unoptimistic. ”
"Two months ago, when we first arrived, the stream was just a small mountain stream, but now it's like this. ”
"After careful calculation, the entire river channel has widened by at least one meter after entering the rainy season...... The biggest headache is that this situation may worsen, and the situation is really not optimistic......"
Looking at the rolling river in front of him, Lu Yu made up his mind in his heart before he finished speaking:
Uproot!
The current camp, although high enough, is too close to the water source.
Once the levee bursts.
The dangers are self-evident.
Lu Yu originally thought that this stream would not pose much of a threat to him.
But I never expected that due to the skyrocketing groundwater, the original trickle would develop to this extent!
Therefore, for safety reasons, the first priority at the moment is to stay away from here and find a relatively safe place to spend the next three days and two nights.
Thinking.
Lu Yu squatted down, put the clay pot horizontally in the water, and filled it to the brim.
Then, he continued:
"Brothers, we need to move quickly. ”
"Because of the next few days. ”
"I can't continue to live in a tiled house, so I have to try to find a new shelter anyway, and keep a safe distance from it as much as possible. ”
"I don't want to be sent to hell by a sudden flood while I am sleeping......
Hear this.
The barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly increased:
“66666!”
"It seems that Feather God has long known that he will go to hell after death!"
"Killing too much, you might as well go to hell ...... hell"
"Yu Buhuan is going to move?"
“23333333333”
"Come on, anchor, be sure to pay attention to safety!"
......
The purpose of moving is to prevent flash floods.
Therefore, the location of the new camp must be eliminated from the root cause.
It's not just the terrain that needs to be high and flat.
You have to stay away from the valleys and rocks.
Based on Lu Yu's understanding of this island, there are not no similar places, but most of them are concentrated on the north shore.
But as things stand, it's certainly not realistic to go to the North Shore alone.
The reason is simple.
Hiking in the mountains at this point in time is in itself extremely unwise.
Not to mention the painstaking action of moving.
So, no matter which way you look at it.
None of the North Shore is a viable place to migrate.
Even if you don't move, you must not move your family to that place.
In addition to the north shore, the rest of the southeast coast was also eliminated by Lu Yu for the first time.
The eastern shore of the island is the lowest on the island.
Not one of them.
If there was a flood, it would be the first to bear the brunt.
It's not suitable for camping at all.
Therefore.
Sum up.
Lu Yu only has two paths to choose at the moment.
One is to make a fuss around the camp to minimize the risk as much as possible.
The second is to try your luck on the northwest coast.
He had stayed there when he had returned home from the North Shore earlier.
In my impression.
Although there is also a dark river on the northwest bank, there is a certain geological interaction with the twin mountains on the north bank.
The topography is very obvious.
Secondly, compared to the north shore, the northwest shore is not far away from itself.
If it goes well, it may not take more than a day to arrive.
"Neither the North Shore nor the East Shore is a wise choice. ”
"One is too far away, the other is too low. ”
"Rather than that, it's better to stay put. So I decided to try my luck on the Northwest Shore. If you're lucky, you might be able to find a suitable place to live temporarily. Without further ado, brothers, we have to hurry up......"
Talking.
Lu Yu picked up the clay pot filled with river water and returned to the camp along the same road.
After arriving at the place.
Adhering to the principle of avoiding the important and trivial, he didn't even rest.
Immediately packed up the useful equipment in the camp.
All of them were packed into a bamboo basket.
But whoever can bring it.
You may need it later.
Almost all of them were brought.
Then.
He also selected two random bamboo tubes from the scattered pyre, filled them with water respectively, and prepared them to be used as supplies on the road......
