Mai hele i waho e leʻaleʻa ma ke kahakai a nalowale kou ola! E aʻo pono kākou e pili ana i nā au wai make.

Akā, ua ʻike anei ʻoe he hiki i kēia kai polū nani ke lilo i mea weliweli i kekahi manawa hiki ʻole iā ʻoe ke noʻonoʻo? Kiʻekiʻe loa kēia pilikia ma nā kahakai kahi ʻaʻohe kiaʻi ola. I kēia lā, ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i kekahi o nā pōʻino huna loa, akā koʻikoʻi loa. ʻO ia ke au rip .

ʻO kēlā lā weliweli ma ke kahakai

He moʻolelo ʻoiaʻiʻo kēia e pili ana i ʻelua mau kānaka i kapa ʻia ʻo Larry lāua ʻo Sandy. ʻO Sandy ke alakaʻi o ka pūnaewele olakino honua ʻo WebMD.

Ua hele lākou i ke kahakai ma kahi o ka hola 4 pm o ia lā. I kēlā manawa, aia nā hae ʻulaʻula ma ke kahakai, akā ʻaʻohe mea i haʻi iā lākou ʻo ke ʻano o kēia he "pōʻino - ua pāpā loa ʻia ka ʻauʻau ʻana i ke kai." He ʻino iki ke kai.

Wahi a Sandy, "Ua ʻōlelo ka hōʻailona kokoke i ka hae ʻulaʻula 'nā kai hoʻoweliweli'. Akā, ʻaʻole i ʻōlelo ʻia ma kahi ʻē aʻe e hiki mai ana kēia mau kai kokoke i ke kahakai. Ua kalaiwa kekahi mākaʻi ma waena o ka lehulehu, akā, ʻaʻole i hāʻawi i kekahi ʻōlelo aʻo . He nui nā ʻohana ʻē aʻe e pāʻani ana i ka wai i ka lā a pau, e like me mākou. Ua pilikia lākou a pau."

ʻO Sandy a me kāna mau keiki ʻelua, ʻo Ryan, 12, a me Krista, 9, ua piʻi wale ko lākou mau kuʻekuʻe wāwae i loko o ka wai. E pāʻani ana ʻo Ryan ma ka pāpaʻu me kāna "boogie board." Ua hoʻi ʻo Sandy i ka home ma kahi o ka hola 6 p.m. e hoʻomākaukau i ka ʻaina ahiahi.

"He ʻumi mau minuke ma hope mai, ua holo nā keiki ʻelua i loko o ka hale me ka uē. Ua ʻōlelo lākou aia ʻo Ryan i loko o ka wai, a ua hele aku ʻo Pāpā e hoʻopakele iā ia, akā ʻaʻole hiki iā Pāpā ke puka i waho," wahi a Sandy.

"Ua holo au i ke kahakai. I koʻu holo ʻana, ʻike akula au i kahi helikopa e hiki mai ana. Ua hōʻea mai nā mākaʻi i ka manawa like. Ua ʻike au i kahi hui o nā kānaka e hoʻāʻo ana e huki i kekahi mai loko mai o ka wai. Ua manaʻo wau, 'Auē kuʻu Akua, ʻo Larry kēlā.' A laila ʻike akula au i kekahi kanaka ʻē aʻe e lana ana i loko o ka wai."

"Ua like ia me ka moeʻuhane. I kekahi manawa ua uwē au i ka lewa, akā ʻo ka hapa nui ua kū wale wau i loko o ka wai a pule. Ua ʻike au i kekahi kanaka me nā lole komo ʻulaʻula e lawe ʻia mai ana i uka a ke hāʻawi mai nei lākou iaʻu i ke kōkua mua . A laila ʻike au i kekahi kanaka ʻē aʻe e lana ana i lalo i loko o ka wai. Ua ʻike au. ʻO Larry ia. Ua make ʻo Larry."

He aha maoli ke au o Rip?

Pehea i komo ai kahi keiki olakino a me ʻelua mau kāne makua i loko o ia pilikia i ka wai hohonu a hiki i ke kuli? ʻO ka pane ʻo Rip Current . Ua kuhihewa kekahi poʻe i kēia mau mea he mau ʻauwaʻa. Akā, ʻaʻole kēia e huki iā ʻoe i lalo o ka wai.

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, eia ka mea e hana ʻia:

1. E noʻonoʻo i kahi lā makani. ʻO kēia makani ke kumu o nā nalu nui e piʻi mai i uka.

2. He ʻākea one kēia nalu kokoke i ke kahakai (san DBA r)Lele ana ma luna a hōʻiliʻili i ka wai ma uka.

3. ʻOiai ke hoʻāʻo nei kēia wai i hōʻiliʻili ʻia e hoʻi i ke kai, ua paʻa ka wai i nā ʻale mau a me kēlā puʻu one.

4. I ka hopena, kahe nā tona o kēia wai i paʻa i ka ʻaoʻao ma ke kahakai. Kāhea mākou i kēia ʻo ke au longshore . Inā ua ʻauʻau ʻoe i ke kai a ua auwana mamao loa mai kahi āu i waiho ai i kāu mau mea, ua paʻa ʻoe i loko o kēia.

5. I kona kahe ʻana i ka wai, kahe koke kēia wai i paʻa i ke kai mai kahi nāwaliwali a i ʻole kahi haki ma kekahi wahi o ke one. E like me kou wehe ʻana i ka waha o kahi kīʻaha, kahe koke ka wai i lalo.

6. Ua kapa ʻia kēia ala wai wikiwiki a haiki he Rip Current . Hiki iā ia ke ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki ma mua o ka mea ʻauʻau lanakila mekala ʻOlumepika.

Pehea ʻoe e ʻike ai i kahi Rip Current?

ʻO ka mea maikaʻi loa e hana ai, ʻo ia ka ʻike ʻana i kēia pōʻino i ka wā mua. Ua hoʻopunipuni ʻia ka poʻe he nui e ka ʻoiaʻiʻo he nani a mālie ke ʻano o ke au rip. E nānā i ka papa ma lalo no kēia mau hōʻailona.

He aha kāu e hana ai inā paʻa ʻoe i kahi Rip Current?

ʻO kēia ka mea nui loa. ʻAʻohe mea pehea ka make o kēia, inā e noho mālie ʻoe a ʻike pono i ka mea e hana ai, hiki iā ʻoe ke ola.

• ʻO ka mea nui loa: Mai hopohopo! E noho mālie. Inā ʻoe e hopohopo a hakakā, e luhi koke ʻoe.
• Mai ho'āʻo e ʻau kūʻē i ke au (i ke kahakai). ʻO kēia ka hewa nui loa a ka poʻe e hana ai. ʻOiai pehea kou akamai i ka ʻauʻau ʻana, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻau wikiwiki ma mua o kēia au. E luhi wale nō ʻoe.
• E ʻauʻau like me ke kahakai. E noʻonoʻo e huki ʻia ana ʻoe ma ke alanui. Ma kahi o ka holo pololei ʻana i mua ma ke alanui, e lele i waho o ke ala. Ua like ia me ka ʻauʻau ʻana ma ka ʻaoʻao ma ke kahakai, ma ka wai.
• I kou ʻauʻau ʻana aku i kahi ʻaoʻao iki aʻe, e ʻike ʻoe e pāpaʻu ana ka wai. A laila hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻauʻau hou i uka me nā nalu.
• Inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻauʻau, e hoʻāʻo e lana i loko o ka wai me ka makaʻu ʻole. E lawe ka wai iā ʻoe i kahi mamao aku i ke kai a e nalowale kou paʻa ʻana. I kēlā manawa, e kāhea no ke kōkua.

Pehea ʻoe e hoʻopakele ai i kekahi i paʻa i ka wai?

E like me ka moʻolelo a Larry, ʻaʻole pinepine ka mea i paʻa mua ka mea i ʻeha, akā, ʻo ka poʻe e hoʻāʻo nei e hoʻopakele iā lākou. No laila, e hoʻomanaʻo i kēia mau manaʻo.

• E kāhea koke aku no ke kōkua: Inā he kiaʻi ola, e haʻi aku iā ia. A i ʻole e kāhea aku i ka poʻe a puni ʻoe. E kāhea aku i ka helu ulia pōpilikia o ka mākaʻi 119.
• Mai lele i loko o ka wai: Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe he kanaka ʻauʻau akamai a aʻo ʻia, mai lele i loko o ka wai no kekahi kumu.
• E hoʻolei i kahi mea e lana ana: E hoʻolei i kahi mea e lana ana (ʻaʻahu ola, papa boogie, pahu hoʻoluʻu nui i sila ʻia, ʻōmole palakiko nui) i ke kanaka i paʻa i ka wai.
• E hāʻawi i ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo mai ke kahakai mai: E ho'ōho e noho mālie a ʻauʻau like me ke kahakai.
• Mai hana i nā kaulahao kanaka: He mea weliweli loa kēia. Hiki iā ia ke hoʻoweliweli i ka poʻe ma ka hopena o ke kaulahao. Inā haki ke kaulahao, e pilikia ana kekahi poʻe ʻē aʻe.

Ma hope o ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i kahi kanaka pilikia, inā ʻaʻole lākou e hanu ana a ʻike ʻole paha, pono e hāʻawi koke ʻia iā lākou ke kōkua mua a lawe ʻia i ka Emergency Treatment Unit (ETU) .
