"There are roofs ripped off businesses, a row of industrial-type warehouses," Thrasher said. "RVs were flipped upside down and destroyed. There were a lot of emergency vehicles heading from the east side of town."

思拉舍说:“这里有被拆掉的企业屋顶,一排工业仓库。”“房车被翻过来摧毁了。有很多急救车从城东驶来。”

He said he ran into the store to ride it out.

他说他跑进商店想躲过它。

"My adrenaline was going like crazy," Thrasher said. "In less than five minutes it was over."

“我的肾上腺素当时疯狂飙升,”思拉舍说。“不到五分钟它就结束了。”

Multiple homes were damaged and trees, and power lines were down and blocking roads, State Police said on Twitter. Images shared on social media showed multiple RVs shredded to pieces in a parking lot.

该州警方在推特上表示,多座房屋和树木被毁,电线被切断,道路被堵塞。社交媒体上分享的图片显示,停车场里有多辆房车被撕成碎片。

Mike Klepadlo, owner of Alter-Start North, a car repair shop, said he and his workers took cover in a bathroom.

汽车修理店Alter-Start North的老板迈克·克莱帕德罗(Mike Klepadlo)说,他和他的员工躲在一间浴室里。

"I’m lucky I’m alive. It blew the back off the building," he said. "Twenty feet (6 meters) of the back wall is gone. The whole roof is missing. At least half the building is still here. It’s bad."

“我很幸运我还活着。它把建筑物的后部炸飞了,”他说。“20英尺(6米)的后墙消失了。整个屋顶都不见了。至少有一半的建筑还在。真糟糕。”

Video posted on social media showed extensive damage along Gaylord’s Main Street. One building appeared to be largely collapsed and a Goodwill store was badly damaged. A collapsed utility pole lay on the side of the road, and debris, including what appeared to be electrical wires and parts of a Marathon gas station, was scattered all along the street.

发布在社交媒体上的视频显示盖洛德主街沿线严重受损。一座建筑似乎基本倒塌,一家Goodwill商店严重受损。一根倒塌的电线杆躺在路边,街道两旁散落着碎片,其中包括电线和马拉松加油站的部分零件。

Otsego Memorial Hospital said it had no comment about any people seeking treatment for injuries. The Red Cross was setting up a shelter at a church.

奥塞戈纪念医院表示,它对所有受伤寻求治疗的人不予置评。红十字会正在教堂里搭建避难所。

Severe weather is very unusual in the northern Michigan region.

恶劣的天气在密歇根北部地区非常罕见。

Jim Keysor, a Gaylord-based meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said extreme winds are uncommon because the Great Lakes suck energy out of storms, especially early in spring when the lakes are very cold.

美国国家气象局驻盖洛德的气象学家吉姆·基索尔(Jim Keysor)说,极端大风很少见,因为五大湖会吸取风暴中的能量,尤其是在早春时期湖泊非常寒冷的时候。

"Many kids and young adults would have never experienced any direct severe weather if they had lived in Gaylord their entire lives," he said.

他说:“如果许多小孩和年轻人一直都住在盖洛德,他们不会有任何直接面对恶劣天气的经验。”

The last time Gaylord suffered severe damage from a wind storm was in 1998, when straight-line winds reached 100 mph, the weather service said.

Brandie Slough, 42, said she and a teen daughter sought safety in a restroom at a Culver’s. Windows of the fast food restaurant were blown out when they emerged, and her pickup truck had been flipped on its roof in the parking lot.

42岁的布兰迪·斯劳(Brandie Slough)说,她和一个十来岁的女儿在卡尔弗餐厅的洗手间寻找安全场所。当他们出来的时候,快餐店的窗户被炸飞了,她的皮卡在停车场的屋顶被掀翻了。

"We shook our heads in disbelief but are thankful to be safe. At that point, who cares about the truck," Slough said.

我们难以置信地摇了摇头,但谢天谢地总算安全了。在这种情况下,谁还在乎卡车呢,”斯劳说。

Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued the following statement in response to the severe weather across Northern Michigan and the tornado in Gaylord."We are monitoring the extreme weather situation in Gaylord and Northern Michigan closely," Whitmer said. "As Michigan State Police have noted, trees and power lines are down, and multiple homes and businesses have been damaged."

"The MSP urge Michiganders to avoid the Gaylord area," Whitmer continued "Emergency crews are responding to help residents and assess the damage. Severe thunderstorm watches and warnings remain in effect throughout Northern Michigan. Our thoughts are with the impacted communities and first responders and utility workers who are working hard to keep everyone safe."

“密歇根州议员敦促密歇根州人避开盖洛德地区,”惠特默继续说:“紧急救援人员正在响应,帮助居民并评估损失。严重的雷暴监测和警告在整个密歇根北部仍然有效。我们与受影响的社区、急救人员和公用事业工人同在,他们正在努力确保每个人的安全。”
