周四，强降雨和大风袭击美国东北部，风暴席卷长岛一处海滩，淹没纽约一条主要高速公路，并导致特拉华州首府部分区域停电。
社交媒体上分享的照片和视频显示，长岛外屏障岛大西洋海滩疑似有龙卷风登陆，空中卷起 debris（碎片），暴雨倾盆。龙卷风摧毁了一家大型海滨俱乐部，破碎的沙滩椅和木梁散落海岸线上。
因伍德消防部门表示，大西洋海滩的太阳冲浪海滩俱乐部有数十间小屋受损或被毁。因伍德消防局长乔西亚·格林称，没有任何人被困在小屋中，也无需在该俱乐部开展救援行动。
“我能说的最好的词就是幸运，”格林说道。“多亏了运气眷顾，这里才没有太多人受伤，因为这家海滩俱乐部在夏季是非常热门的去处。”
拿骚县行政长官布鲁斯·布莱克曼宣布进入紧急状态。
“有报告称，南岸地区因洪水导致人员被困在车内，急救人员正在协助救援，”布莱克曼在一份声明中表示。
美国国家气象局此前曾警告该区域可能出现水龙卷——即发生在水面上的类似龙卷风的灾害，但无法立即确认海滩上是否出现了龙卷风。
纽约国家气象局气象学家布莱恩·拉姆齐表示，风暴于周四晚间向东向近海移动，预计未来数小时内将逐渐减弱。

据纽约市应急管理部门消息，在纽约州其他地区，洪水导致皇后区的长岛高速公路双向部分路段关闭。社交媒体上的照片显示，应急救援人员在积水中跋涉，多排汽车停滞不前。
特拉华州多佛尔市警方报告称，一场龙卷风在多佛尔登陆，给全市造成严重破坏。官员表示，该市暂无人员受伤报告。国家气象局确认，该龙卷风于当地时间下午6点后不久在多佛尔登陆。
据哥伦比亚广播公司费城分社报道，多佛尔市戴斯酒店和超级旅馆的部分屋顶坍塌或被掀翻，建筑的门窗、墙体及其他部分均受损。
多佛尔警察局中尉马克·霍夫曼称，该市的破坏情况看起来符合龙卷风袭击特征。
“从移动路径和我们遭遇的破坏程度来看，这显然符合龙卷风的特征，”霍夫曼说道。
网络上的照片和视频显示，树木倒伏、电线中断、道路被淹。
来自北卡罗来纳州格林斯伯勒的库伊莫尼·戈因斯表示，风暴增强时，她正和家人住在多佛尔的戴斯酒店里。
“开始下雨时，我们看到有建筑碎片乱飞，随后我们看到龙卷风形成，因为害怕，我们就跑进了浴室，”戈因斯告诉哥伦比亚广播公司费城分社。
特拉华州电力合作社表示，其服务区域北部有超过1000户用户停电。
国家气象局称，宾夕法尼亚州东部和新泽西州部分地区发布了山洪预警。
Storms soak Northeast as possible tornadoes reported in New York, Delaware

Heavy rain and winds pounded the Northeast U.S. on Thursday as storms tore through a beach on Long Island, flooded a major New York freeway and knocked out power in parts of Delaware’s capital city.
Photos and video shared on social media show debris thrown in the air and pummeling rain as a possible tornado touched down at Atlantic Beach on Long Island’s outer barrier. It tore apart a major beach club, leaving broken beach chairs and wood beams littered across the shoreline.
The Inwood Fire Department said dozens of cabanas were damaged or destroyed at the Sun and Surf Beach Club in Atlantic Beach. Inwood Fire Chief Josiyah Green said no one was trapped in any of the cabanas or had to be rescued at the club.
“Best I can call it is luck,” Green said. “Just by the grace of luck that a lot of people weren’t hurt here because this beach club is a very popular place during the summer.”
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman declared a state of emergency.
“There are reports of people trapped in their vehicles due to flooding in the south shore, and first responders are assisting in their rescue,” Blakeman said in a statement.
The National Weather Service had warned of waterspouts, tornado-like hazards that happen over water, in the area but wasn’t able to immediately confirm a tornado on the beach.
Bryan Ramsey, a meteorologist for the weather service in New York, said the storm was moving East offshore Thursday evening and was expected to taper over the next several hours.

In other parts of New York, flooding caused part of the Long Island Expressway in Queens to close in both directions, according to New York City Emergency Management. Photos on social media show lines of stopped cars as emergency crew wade through the water.
A tornado touched down in Dover, Delaware, and caused significant damage across the city, the police department reported. Officials said no injuries had been reported in the city. The weather service confirmed that the tornado touched down in Dover shortly after 6 p.m. local time.
Sections of the roofs at the Days Inn and Super Lodge in Dover collapsed or were torn away, while doors, walls and other parts of the buildings were damaged, according to CBS News Philadelphia.
Dover Police Lt. Mark Hoffman said the damage in the city appeared consistent with a tornado.

“It would certainly appear that way based on the path of travel and the amount of damage that we’ve had,” Hoffman said.
Photos and video online show fallen trees, downed power lines and flooded roads.
Kuimonie Goins of Greensboro, North Carolina, said she was staying at the Days Inn in Dover with her family when the storm intensified.
“When it started raining, we started seeing like pieces of buildings flying, and then we started to see the tornado form, and then we ran in the bathroom because we were scared,” Goins told CBS Philadelphia.
The Delaware Electric Cooperative said more than 1,000 people didn’t have power in the northern part of its service area.
There were flash flood warnings in parts of eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the weather service said.
