The remains of the final individual unaccounted for following the capsize of a vessel on Lake Tahoe, California, during the unheralded and ferocious weekend tempest, were recovered on Monday, bringing the death toll to a definitive eight.
According to US Coast Guard officials, a 27-foot (8-meter) gilded Chris-Craft pleasure craft capsized amidst tempestuous conditions and towering waves generated by a squall near D.L. Bliss State Park, situated on the southwestern periphery of the lake, on Saturday afternoon; the vessel was carrying a complement of ten souls at the time of the incident.
Eldorado County Sheriff's Office reports indicate that two individuals were rescued immediately and transported to hospital, their condition remaining indeterminate; the grim discovery of six further bodies occurred later on Saturday, followed by the exhumation of a seventh cadaver by Sunday evening. Divers, conducting a lacustrine search of an area within Lake Tahoe, recovered the final body on Monday afternoon.
Constable Kyle Parker stipulated that the deceased's identity would remain confidential pending formal notification of kin.
While Lake Tahoe has, in recent years, experienced drownings and other accidental fatalities, maritime disasters involving multiple casualties remain statistically infrequent; the South Lake Tahoe Police Department, in a 2022 statement to KCRA-TV, indicated an average annual fatality rate of approximately six lives lost during the summer months, albeit with a recorded peak of fifteen deaths in 2021, though updated figures are not presently procurable.
Matthew Chiba, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Reno, Nevada, conceded that the ferocity of the thunderstorm had taken even seasoned prognosticators by surprise, who had anticipated only nominal precipitation, blindsided as they were by the tempest that descended upon the southern littoral of the lake district around 1500 hours, engendering winds exceeding 35 mph (56 km/h) and swells cresting at over 8 feet (2.5 meters).
"Kiba conceded, his voice tinged with disbelief, 'The sheer ferocity of the onslaught was simply beyond our anticipations.'"
He posited that the region's significantly subnormal temperatures for this time of year were potentially causative of atmospheric instability.
Kiba noted that the eight-foot swells observed on Lake Tahoe were "of considerable magnitude," adding that "they engendered a palpable and tempestuous agitation of the lake's surface."
太浩湖,这个横跨加利福尼亚州与内华达州、水体原始而冰寒的湖泊,是夏季舟楫爱好者的天堂,皮划艇运动和立式桨板冲浪的胜地。作为仅次于俄勒冈州火山口湖的美国最深湖泊之一,其地位举足轻重。
The authorities have yet to divulge granular details regarding the demographics of the passengers aboard the capsized vessel, nor have they elucidated whether the craft was chartered or privately owned.
The tempest, which had commenced on Saturday, abated in approximately two hours.
During a bachelorette revelry aboard a chartered pontoon boat on Saturday, Brittany Glicken and seven companions were confronted by escalating winds and increasingly turbulent swells; Glicken recounted on Monday that the idyllic, sun-drenched commencement of the day had abruptly devolved into a precipitous temperature plunge, rendering visibility virtually nugatory.
She articulated, "The sensation is akin to being precariously poised within the nascent stages of a cataclysmic tsunami; a phenomenon utterly unprecedented in my experiential repertoire."
As the vessel, having endured an increasingly tumultuous hour-long transit, limped back to the quay, its occupants utterly drenched, a sudden squall of hailstones descended, compounding their misery.
格里克如是说道:“目睹所有船只倾覆,我们俱皆悚然,加之寒流侵肌砭骨,众人瑟瑟发抖,乃至足部末梢神经麻痹,肢端呈现绀紫色,此情此景,或可称得上是我三十载人生历程中所遭遇的至暗时刻之一。这场风暴之迅猛,委实令人不寒而栗。”
KCRA-TV获得的视频资料显示,临近码头泊靠的船只在强劲的飑线突袭之下,彼此剧烈撞击,险象环生。
