7 Mart 1962’de, Ash Wednesday F\u0131rt\u0131nas\u0131 olarak bilinen \u015fiddetli bir kar f\u0131rt\u0131nas\u0131 Atlantik k\u0131y\u0131lar\u0131n\u0131 vurdu. F\u0131rt\u0131na ac\u0131mas\u0131zd\u0131 ve beraberinde kuvvetli r\u00fczgarlar, seller ve y\u0131k\u0131m getirdi. Etkilenenler aras\u0131nda Assateague ve Chincoteague Adalar\u0131’n\u0131n yabani midillileri de vard\u0131.<\/p>\n\n
Adalardaki en \u00fcnl\u00fc midillilerden biri, Marguerite Henry’nin sevilen \u00e7ocuk kitab\u0131n\u0131n konusu olan Chincoteague’nin Misty’siydi. Misty, kitab\u0131n 1947’de yay\u0131nlanmas\u0131n\u0131n ard\u0131ndan ulusal bir \u00fcnl\u00fc haline gelmi\u015fti.<\/p>\n\n
Ash Wednesday F\u0131rt\u0131nas\u0131 vurdu\u011funda, Misty hamileydi ve Chincoteague Adas\u0131’ndaki Beebe \u00c7iftli\u011fi’nde kal\u0131yordu. Ada karga\u015fa i\u00e7indeyken ve su i\u00e7ilmeyecek kadar kirliyken, insan sakinleri tahliye edildi. Ancak Misty geride kald\u0131 ve ailenin mutfa\u011f\u0131nda s\u0131\u011f\u0131nd\u0131.<\/p>\n\n
F\u0131rt\u0131na ve Misty’nin hamileli\u011fiyle ilgili haberler h\u0131zla yay\u0131ld\u0131 ve \u00fclke \u00e7ap\u0131ndaki insanlar onun g\u00fcvenli\u011fi konusunda endi\u015felendi. Telefon hatlar\u0131, Misty’nin iyili\u011fi hakk\u0131nda bilgi almak isteyen \u00e7ocuklar\u0131n aramalar\u0131yla dolup ta\u015f\u0131yordu.<\/p>\n\n
F\u0131rt\u0131nan\u0131n \u015fiddetine ra\u011fmen Misty hayatta kald\u0131. F\u0131rt\u0131naya, bir kedinin e\u015flik etti\u011fi ve d\u00f6k\u00fclen pekmezi yalad\u0131\u011f\u0131 Beebe’lerin mutfa\u011f\u0131nda dayand\u0131.<\/p>\n\n
Misty f\u0131rt\u0131nadan sa\u011f kurtulmu\u015f olsa da, adalardaki t\u00fcm midilliler o kadar \u015fansl\u0131 de\u011fildi. \u0130ki adada ya\u015fayan 300 midillinin 55’i Assateague’de, 90’\u0131 ise Chincoteague’de \u00f6ld\u00fc. Bir\u00e7o\u011fu bo\u011fuldu ve denize s\u00fcr\u00fcklendi.<\/p>\n\n
Midillilerin kayb\u0131 bir trajediydi, ancak ayn\u0131 zamanda yerel ekonomi i\u00e7in de bir tehdit olu\u015fturuyordu. Midilliler olmadan, turistleri Chincoteague’ye \u00e7eken y\u0131ll\u0131k midilli \u00e7emberleme etkinli\u011fi tehlike alt\u0131ndayd\u0131.<\/p>\n\n
Misty, midilli s\u00fcr\u00fcs\u00fcn\u00fcn iyile\u015fmesinde hayati bir rol oynad\u0131. Onun hayatta kalmas\u0131 ve Stormy ad\u0131n\u0131 verdi\u011fi tay\u0131n\u0131n do\u011fumu, topluma umut verdi. Yirminci Y\u00fczy\u0131l Fox, “Chincoteague’nin Misty’si” filminin uyarlamas\u0131n\u0131, midilli s\u00fcr\u00fcs\u00fcn\u00fc yeniden canland\u0131rmak i\u00e7in kullan\u0131lan “Misty Disaster Fund” i\u00e7in bir ba\u011f\u0131\u015f toplama etkinli\u011fi olarak yeniden yay\u0131nlad\u0131.<\/p>\n\n
Misty, f\u0131rt\u0131nadan k\u0131sa bir s\u00fcre sonra, narin ve canl\u0131 bir tay olan Stormy’yi do\u011furdu. Tay\u0131n ad\u0131, Misty’nin hayatta kald\u0131\u011f\u0131 f\u0131rt\u0131nadan esinlenmi\u015ftir.<\/p>\n\n
Misty ve Stormy, Misty Disaster Fund i\u00e7in fark\u0131ndal\u0131k yaratmak amac\u0131yla bir tan\u0131t\u0131m turuna \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131lar. Maryland ve Virginia’daki sinemalarda g\u00f6r\u00fcnd\u00fcler ve burada co\u015fkulu kalabal\u0131klar taraf\u0131ndan kar\u015f\u0131land\u0131lar. Tur bir ba\u015far\u0131yd\u0131 ve Nisan ay\u0131nda Chincoteague midilli sahipleri, s\u00fcr\u00fcn\u00fcn say\u0131s\u0131n\u0131 art\u0131rmaya yard\u0131mc\u0131 olmak i\u00e7in midillilerini geri satmay\u0131 teklif ettiler.<\/p>\n\n
Chincoteague’nin Misty’si ve tay\u0131 Stormy, Ash Wednesday F\u0131rt\u0131nas\u0131’ndan sonra umut ve dayan\u0131kl\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131n sembolleri haline geldi. Hikayeleri bug\u00fcn insanlara ilham vermeye devam ediyor. Midilli \u00e7emberleme etkinli\u011fi hala her y\u0131l ger\u00e7ekle\u015fmekte ve Misty ve Stormy’nin miras\u0131, her yerdeki hayvanseverlerin kalbinde ya\u015famaya devam etmektedir.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
