美國東南部遭遇強烈雷暴與龍捲風威脅
美國國家氣象局(NWS)針對美國東南部的多個州發布了強烈雷暴警告和龍捲風監視,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,因為一個強大的風暴系統在週日清晨經過該地區。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,並在阿拉巴馬州南部、佛羅里達州西北部和密西西比州南部發布了額外的警告。居民被敦促保持警惕並為可能的龍捲風做好準備,並提供了具體指示,要求他們識別安全地點並在龍捲風警告發布時迅速行動。
在喬治亞州,風暴系統造成了重大破壞,某些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名用戶斷電,但到週日下午,這一數字已減少到大約400人。NWS亞特蘭大分部對包括斯托克布里奇、康耶斯和科文頓在內的地區發布了龍捲風警告,而塔拉哈西分部則確認了對阿拉巴馬州、佛羅里達州和喬治亞州部分地區的龍捲風監視,直到東部標準時間上午10點。
風暴迅速移動,強烈天氣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強調了監控更新並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,包括本週早些時候襲擊密西西比州東南部的一次龍捲風,造成了重大破壞並使一些居民被困在家中。
