龙卷风警报连发数小时！北卡中部周日遭强风暴袭击，多地现灾情
北卡罗来纳州中部10月11日（周日）遭遇强风暴袭击，美国国家气象局罗利办公室（NWS Raleigh）从中午起连续数小时对多个县发布龙卷风警报，涉及利县（Lee）、查塔姆县（Chatham）、韦克县（Wake）、达勒姆县（Durham）与富兰克林县（Franklin）。
据NWS记录，警报中多次出现"已确认龙卷风"：中午12点06分，一场已确认的龙卷风位于匹兹伯勒（Pittsboro）以东9英里处，以每小时20英里的速度向东北移动，影响凯瑞（Cary）、艾派克（Apex）等地；下午1点19分，另一场已确认龙卷风出现在罗利东北9英里的韦克福里斯特（Wake Forest）附近，向东北朝邦恩（Bunn）移动。雷达还多次探测到凯瑞、RDU国际机场上空风暴的旋转特征。当天中部北卡还发布了持续到下午5点的龙卷风监视（Tornado Watch）。
据WRAL报道，至少5场已确认的龙卷风周日袭击了北卡中部，NWS表示另有3到6处疑似触地点待核实。罗利东北部与费耶特维尔（Fayetteville）报告了建筑损毁，至少4场龙卷风造成数十栋建筑受损或被毁。杜克能源的停电地图显示，风暴过后约有2,000户断电，主要集中在万斯县与坎伯兰县。截至发稿，暂无人员伤亡报告。
这轮强对流天气与飓风"伊萨亚斯"（Isaias）残余环流北上有关。NWS已派出调查组，今日将继续对疑似触地点进行实地勘察定级。

Tornado Warnings Issued for Hours Across Central NC as Severe Storms Hit Sunday; Damage Reported
Central North Carolina was battered by severe storms on Sunday, October 11, as the National Weather Service office in Raleigh issued tornado warnings for hours starting around noon, covering Lee, Chatham, Wake, Durham and Franklin counties.
NWS records show multiple "confirmed tornado" alerts: at 12:06 p.m. a confirmed tornado was located 9 miles east of Pittsboro, moving northeast at 20 mph, threatening Cary, Apex and surrounding areas; at 1:19 p.m. another confirmed tornado was near Wake Forest, 9 miles northeast of Raleigh, moving toward Bunn. Radar repeatedly detected rotation in storms over Cary and RDU International Airport. A tornado watch for central North Carolina remained in effect until 5 p.m.
According to WRAL, at least five confirmed tornadoes struck central North Carolina on Sunday, with the NWS saying another three to six possible touchdowns await verification. Damage was reported in northeast Raleigh and Fayetteville, with several dozen buildings damaged or destroyed by at least four of the tornadoes. Duke Energy's outage map showed roughly 2,000 customers without power after the storms, mostly in Vance and Cumberland counties. No injuries had been reported as of publication.
The severe weather was tied to the northward-moving remnants of Hurricane Isaias. NWS survey teams are in the field today continuing to assess suspected touchdown sites.
