北極風襲捲加拿大馬尼托巴省(Manitoba),當時速達60公里的強風吹過多芬湖(Duphin Lake)時,表面浮冰整個被捲起來,形成兩層樓高的「冰海嘯」(ice Tsunami),在短短15分鐘內將沿岸平房全數摧毀。

奇怪的「冰海嘯」現象是因為當時湖面浮冰正處於半融化狀態,被強風的吹拂後快速移動,所經之處摧枯拉朽,總計破壞27棟房屋。當地住戶表示,「先是聽見怪聲,短短5分鐘後浮冰就從門窗湧進來,把家具從屋內一角推到另一角,連浴缸都跑到走廊上。」

美國明尼蘇達州最近也曾發生「冰海嘯」,但是規模較小,當地居民還能好整以暇地拍攝。這次發生在加拿大的則快速許多,居民只能立即逃離住家,所幸目前並未傳出有人員傷亡。

Ice tsunami captured on camera rising out of lake and destroying homes as residents watch helplessly from the shore
It could be a scene out of a 1950s horror film - an unstoppable 'ice tsunami' gradually moving ashore, destroying everything in its path.

But this footage actually shows the weather phenomenon known as ice floe in action in Minnesota, north America, over the weekend.

Strong winds are responsible for pushing this sheet of ice off the top of Lake Mille Lacs and up over the shoreline right up to resident's doorsteps.


Creepy: Darla Johnson uploaded this footage of a sheet of ice rising out of Milles Lacs Lake towards her home in Izatys Resort, Minnesota


Winter weather: The ice flow phenomenon is caused by strong winds driving the ice ashore

And this footage filmed by a homeowner shows the eerie ice shards slowly covering ground before eventually creeping into people's home.
Youtube user Darla Johnson

uploaded the footage of ice rising out of Milles Lacs Lake and into the townhomes of Izatys Resort on May 11.

The panic-stricken mother can be heard warning her son not to go near the ice while watching it getting closer and closer to her own home.
Ms Johnson says: 'Look at it. It's crawling up. It's just pushing and pushing and pushing.


Unstoppable: The ice reached front doors and windows, even entering some resident' homes


Dangerous: Winds reached up to 40 miles per hours to push the ice sheets ashore in Minnesota

'Its gone through their door. Their door's in. It's going right through their house.'

WCCO-TV reports that the ice from reached the doors and windows at the Izatys Resort on Saturday morning. But the video posted on Liveleek.com suggests it entered some homes.

National Weather Service Meteorologist Shawn Devinny says 30 to 40 mile an hour winds pushed the water into the ice, driving it ashore.

The Department of Natural Resources says about 10 miles of shoreline are covered, with some reaching up to 30 feet high.


Taking over: The 'ice tsunami' creeps towards garden furniture which is hastily moved by the homeowner who filmed these bizarre scenes


Thick covering: Around 10 miles of shoreline were left covered with the ice sheet which was 30 feet high at points

It comes as massive ice floes rose out of a lake 600 miles north in Canada over theweekend, destroying a dozen homes and damaging fifteen others.

Within mere moments, strong winds drove piles of ice ontothe shore from Dauphin Lake on Friday, inundating homes and givingresidents only minutes to flee.
55-mile-per hour winds drove masses of ice from the thawing lake in a phenomenon that is commonly witnessed but rarely seen with such intensity and size.


Dwarfed: Winds forced massive walls of ice onto the shores of Lake Dauphin, dwarfing homes in rural Manitoba, Canada on Friday


Unusual: A dozen homes were destroyed and many others left uninhabitable after winds piled ice onto Ochre Beach Friday in an unusually large ice flow

By Friday night, a state of emergency had been declared inthe town of Ochre River, a 188 miles northwest of Winnipeg.
Authorities told the Winnipeg Free Press that seven of thedestroyed homes were ‘literally crushed by the ice that rose up within minutesfrom Lake Dauphin.’
Twenty-seven homes were affected in total as the frozen wall to plowed through everything in its wayalong Ochre Beach.
Though the moving ice was as tall as a house in places, noinjuries have been reported.


Terrifying: Homeowners had only minutes to flee as the mounting ice entered their doors and windows

Nonetheless, residents were still shaken Saturday.
Even some of those whose houses remained standing wereallowed inside only to collect their belongings after authorities declared manyof the seemingly spared dwellings to be structurally unfit to inhabit.

One family told the Free Press the ice easily topped and pushedinto their two-story home, shuffled moved furniture around, and ‘pushed thebathroom tub and vanity into the hallway.’
‘They heard it before they saw it coming up their decks,’ OchreRiver deputy Reeve Clayton Watts told the Free Press Saturday. ‘Then, it cameright in their front windows. It was just a matter of minutes. Fortunately, noone was hurt. We were very lucky.’


Unlucky: The affected town Ochre River, 188 miles outside Winnipeg, had only recently begun to recover from severe floods in 2011


Help: Hundreds of volunteers showed up Saturday to help dig Ochre Beach out of the massive ice floe

The town, still reeling from a severe 2011 flood thatdestroyed many homes, was somber but not helpless.
Watts was one hand for Saturday’s clean-up efforts, which sawfriends and neighbors come together to get the community back on its feet.
Hundreds of volunteers were on hand with shovels, wheelbarrows, and even bulldozers to dig the town out.
‘Everybody was pitching in to help them make it through theday,’ Watts said. ‘It was a good community effort. It’s typical. Everybody justhelps out.’


Severe: Many of the 27 affected homes were not destroyed, but still deemed uninhabitable


Again: Some of the leveled homes were brand new, having just been rebuilt in the wake of severe 2011 flooding


Homeless: Canadian officials were at work Saturday helping the community dig out of the ice and to find shelter for those left homeless by the floe

I really feel sorry for those people.
Insurance don't cover their lose.
And no one can prevent this kind of disaster.
Hope people can help.
Thanks

如果人類再不重視溫度上升的問題,有一天很多國家應該都會埋在水裡 ~

第一次看見和聽到有「冰海嘯」,威力真的和「海嘯」分別不大啊,只是好奇「上岸」的速度有沒有水的那麼高呢?

「上岸」的速度有沒有水的那麼高呢?
這就是不幸中的大幸。還有時間拍video,大概以為到屋就可以擋下來,誰知。。
嚇得粗口也出來了。。被人在youtube批評。

冰海嘯有一定的硬度吧,如果規模和海嘯一樣大,威力應該會比海嘯更強
