美國東南部遭遇強烈雷暴及龍捲風威脅
美國國家氣象局(NWS)針對美國東南部的多個州份,包括喬治亞州、阿拉巴馬州、佛羅里達州、田納西州和密西西比州的部分地區,發出了強烈雷暴警告和龍捲風監視,因為一股強烈的風暴系統在周日清晨經過該地區。龍捲風監視表示條件有利於龍捲風形成,僅在喬治亞州就涵蓋了59個縣,並對阿拉巴馬州南部、佛羅里達州西北部和密西西比州南部發出了額外的警告。居民被敦促保持警惕,並為潛在的龍捲風做好準備,具體指示包括識別安全地點並在龍捲風警告發出時迅速行動。
在喬治亞州,風暴系統造成了重大破壞,部分地區的風速高達每小時80英里,包括亞特蘭大市中心。至少報告了兩次確認的龍捲風,導致樹木倒塌、停電和道路封閉。最初有超過10,000名用戶停電,但到周日下午,這一數字已降至約400人。NWS亞特蘭大分局對包括斯托克布里奇、康耶斯和科文頓在內的地區發出了龍捲風警告,而塔拉哈西分局則確認對阿拉巴馬州、佛羅里達州和喬治亞州的部分地區的龍捲風監視將持續到東部時間上午10點。
風暴迅速移動,強烈天氣的威脅在上午中段逐漸減弱。然而,強風和濕潤的土壤仍然存在樹木倒塌的風險。NWS強調了監測更新和遵循安全建議的重要性,因為情況仍在變化。這次強烈天氣事件發生在該地區最近的龍捲風活動之後,包括本周早些時候襲擊密西西比州東南部的龍捲風,造成了重大破壞並使一些居民被困在家中。
