最强台风“贝碧嘉”刚离开没几天,“普拉桑”又来了,上海一周内接连遭遇两个台风正面登陆,真是活久见。这次“普拉桑”虽然风力没有“贝碧嘉”大,但是携带了大量的雨水,申城的城市排水系统面临严峻的考验。
暴雨哗啦啦地下了一夜,早晨上班时也没见减弱。雨再大,也得上班。7:45开车出门,小区内就堵上了,从家门口出小区西门耗时35分钟,我们小区得有多大啊!市政道路上堵的几乎是水泄不通。车子只能龟速爬行,两侧马路牙边都是白花花的积水。
看到这种路况,估计高架更是堵的不行。那还是选择走地面道路稳妥一点,但就是这个想法后面让我后悔不迭了。车行到华泾路左转弯进入景洪路,眼前的一幕让我彻底傻眼了。整个道路全部被淹没在看起来不知道有多深的雨水中,有好几辆车子抛锚在水中央,双跳灯闪动着车主的绝望和无奈。而且除了小轿车,还有面包车、SUV、别克公务舱,这些车的底盘都不低啊。经过5秒钟的思考,我别无选择地赌了一把,开车慢慢进入这片“未来水世界”。慢踩油门,慢慢匀速行驶,在趴窝抛锚的车辆间寻找可以通过的空档,一路小心翼翼向前挪。前面道路的地势慢慢高了起来,渐渐能看到积水下面的路面了,最后终于趟过了这条河。车子这是当船开了,还好我的车身底盘比较高,算是有惊无险吧,尽管想起来也是后怕。
再向前走了段路,就到中环的上中路隧道了。上中路隧道也很堵,好在由于有几道截水沟和排水系统,并没有想象中的道路积水现象。出了上中路隧道,转向耀龙路出口,前面的路面又变成一片水乡泽国了,只有最北边一根车道地势稍高,其他3根车道只能尽可能往左边靠着行驶。
10:05分,总算安全到达公司,迟到已经不算个事了。这一路19km的上班路,开车居然走了2小时20分钟,真是不易。虽然时间是多花了点,还好车子没抛锚,鞋子没湿透,没有淋成落汤鸡,也还算是幸运吧。
总结一下,以后遇到暴雨极端天气,哪怕再堵,也还是要走主干道和高架。因为这些是城市主要道路,设计时对于标高和道路排水系统考虑比较周到。堵是必然的,但是安全性还是有保障,基本上不会穿越涉水深的路面。也有人说可以乘公交、地铁上班,不过这么大的雨,基本上道路都是积水,即便打伞或者穿雨衣,鞋子和裤子必然也是湿透了,这一天的工作状态不好受啊。
The strongest typhoon "Bebinca" just left a few days, “Prasang” came again. Two typhoons landed in Shanghai within a week, It's really live a long time to see.
The storm continued all night and didn't abate when I went to work this morning. I had to go to work although the storm. I drove out at 7:45, the community was blocked up. It took 35 minutes from my home to the west gate of the community, how big our community has to be! Roads were almost impassable. The car could only crawl at a turtle speed, and the curbs on both sides of the road were covered with water.
Seen this road condition, I guessed the elevated would even more congested. It seemed that take the ground road was a better choice, but I regret it later. The front scene dumbfounded me completely when I drove to Huajing Road and turned left onto Jinghong Road. The whole road was submerged in rainwater which I didn't know how deep, Several vehicles were broken down in the water, their double jump lights flashing the despair and hopelessness of their owners. And in additions to cars, there were vans, SUVs, Buick business class, these vehicles chassis were not low. After 5 seconds of thinking, I had no choice but to take a gamble and drove slowly into the "future water world". Stepped on the accelerator slowly, drove at a constant speed, looked for a passble space between the stalled vehicles, and moved carefully all the way forward. The road slowly rose that I could see the road under the water, and finally waded through the river. My vehicle was driven as a boat, fortunately my chassis is relatively high, it's kind of a scare, although it's scary to think about it later.
By another drove forward, there was Shangzhong Road Tunnel of middle ring. It was also very congested, but fortunately, thanks to several interceptor drains and drainage systems, there was no imaginable accumulation of water on the tunnel. After I drove out of the tunnel, and turn to the exit of Yaolong Road, the front road had turned into watery countryside again, with only the northernmost lane having a slightly higher terrain, while the other three lanes could only be driven to the left as far as possible.
I arrived safely at the office at 10:05, and being late was no longer an issue. It was not easy to drive 2 hours and 20 minutes on this 19km commute. Although it took a little more time, I was luckly that the car didn't break down, my shoes didn't get wet, and I didn't get drenched.
As a summarize, when encountering extreme weather storms, even if the road congestion, we still have to take the main roads and elevated. Because these are major urban roads, the design is more thoughtful about elevations and road drainage. Congest is a given, but safety is still assured, and you won't be crossing roads with deep wading. Perhaps some people say you can take public transportation to work, but with such heavy rain, roads are waterlogged, even if you wear an umbrella or a raincoat, your shoes and pants are bound to be soaked through, it's not easy to spend a day working.
