0:00:00.928,0:00:04.012
KIla kitu kinahusiana na kingine

0:00:04.012,0:00:07.538
Kama muhindi, nilikuzwa kujua hili

0:00:07.538,0:00:09.561
Sisi ni kabila dogo la wavuvi

0:00:09.561,0:00:12.745
Katika ncha ya kusini mashariki mwa kisiwa cha Long

0:00:12.745,0:00:15.910
karibu na mji wa Southampton katika jiji la New York.

0:00:15.910,0:00:18.380
Nilipokuwa msichana mdogo,

0:00:18.380,0:00:23.728
Babu yangu alinichukua kukaa naye juani katika wakati wa majira ya joto.

0:00:23.728,0:00:27.282
Hakukuwa na mawingu angani.

0:00:27.282,0:00:30.453
na baada ya muda mfupi nikaanza kutoka jasho.

0:00:30.453,0:00:33.979
na akanionyesha angani na kusema,

0:00:33.979,0:00:36.827
"Angalia,unaona kile?

0:00:36.827,0:00:38.946
Ile ni sehemu yako kule juu.

0:00:38.946,0:00:41.861
Yale ni maji yako yanayosaidia kutengeneza mawingu

0:00:41.861,0:00:46.134
yanayokuwa mvua inayonywesha mimea

0:00:46.134,0:00:49.920
ambayo inalisha wanyama."

0:00:49.920,0:00:52.912
katika utafiti wangu wa mambo haya

0:00:52.912,0:00:57.328
ambayo yanaonyesha uhusiano katika maisha,

0:00:57.328,0:01:00.029
Nilianza kukimbiza vimbunga mwaka 2008

0:01:00.029,0:01:03.897
baada ya binti yangu kusema, " Mama, ni lazima ufanye hivyo."

0:01:03.897,0:01:10.108
siku tatu baadaye,nikiendesha gari kwa kasi sana,

0:01:10.108,0:01:17.368
nikajikuta nafuatilia aina moja ya wingu kubwa sana,

0:01:17.368,0:01:21.819
lenye uwezo wa kutengeneza mvua ua mawe kubwa

0:01:21.819,0:01:23.812
na vimbunga vya ajabu,

0:01:23.812,0:01:30.118
ingawa ni asilimia mbili tu hufanya hivyo.

0:01:30.118,0:01:35.262
mawingu haya yanaweza kuwa makubwa sana, mpaka maili 50 kwa upana

0:01:35.262,0:01:39.328
na yanaweza yakaenda mpaka futi 65,000 juu angani.

0:01:39.328,0:01:41.702
yanaweza yakawa makubwa sana kiasi cha kuzuia mwanga wa mchana,

0:01:41.702,0:01:46.826
kufanya ukisimama chini yake kuwa peusi sana.

0:01:46.826,0:01:49.728
Kukimbiza vimbunga ni kitu chenye mguso wa kipekee.

0:01:49.728,0:01:53.995
unakuta kuna upepo mnyevu wa joto unaopuliza mgongoni kwako

0:01:53.995,0:02:00.697
haufu ya mchanga,ngano na majani.

0:02:00.697,0:02:04.094
halafu pia kuna rangi mbalimbali katika mawingu

0:02:04.094,0:02:09.284
ya mvua ya mawe, ya kijani na bluu.

0:02:09.284,0:02:12.562
nimejifunza kuiheshimu radi.

0:02:12.562,0:02:14.696
Nywele zangu zilikuwa hazijajikunja ziko moja kwa moja.

0:02:14.696,0:02:16.120
(vicheko)

0:02:16.120,0:02:17.744
ninatania.

0:02:17.744,0:02:19.886
(vicheko)

0:02:19.886,0:02:23.062
kinachonifurahisha mimi kuhusu vimbunga hivi

0:02:23.062,0:02:27.279
ni jinsi vinavyotembea,vinavyozunguka,

0:02:27.279,0:02:31.297
na mawingu yenye vitu kama miale ya moto.

0:02:31.297,0:02:34.029
yanakuwa ni madude yanayotisha huku yakipendeza pia.

0:02:34.029,0:02:36.562
ninapoyapiga picha,

0:02:36.562,0:02:40.295
nashindwa kujizuia kukumbuka mafundisho ya babu yangu.

0:02:40.295,0:02:42.287
na ninasimama chini yake,

0:02:42.287,0:02:44.494
naona sio tu wingu,

0:02:44.494,0:02:47.377
lakini na kuelewa pia nina bahati ya kushuhudia

0:02:47.377,0:02:51.827
nguvu zile zile ,mchakato ule ule, katika hali ndogo

0:02:51.827,0:02:58.145
ambavyo vilitengeneza anga letu,mfumo wa jua,jua letu

0:02:58.145,0:03:02.703
na hata sayari hii.

0:03:02.703,0:03:05.160
na mahusiano yote yangu. Asante sana.
