据广东省气象局27日的消息，受台风“格美”外围螺旋云带影响，潮州市湘桥区官塘镇象山村于26日18时40分左右遭受龙卷风袭击。这场突如其来的风灾导致现场树木倒伏被扭断，对当地生态环境造成了一定的影响。广东省气象台、潮州市气象局与佛山市龙卷风研究中心经过会商确定，此次龙卷风的级别为中等强度，相当于国际藤田级数EF1级。
龙卷风是一种极端的、局地性的小尺度强对流天气现象，通常在强烈不稳定的大气条件下由空气对流运动形成，其特点是强烈的旋转和快速移动，对地面造成巨大的破坏力。此次潮州的龙卷风事件再次提醒我们，极端天气事件的不可预测性和破坏性，需要加强气象预警和应急响应机制，以保护人民生命财产安全。
此次风灾的具体破坏情况仍在进一步评估中，相关部门正在组织力量进行灾后救援和恢复工作。当地居民也应提高警惕，密切关注气象信息，做好防范措施，以应对可能的极端天气变化。同时，这起事件也再次凸显了气象科学的重要性，以及在面对自然力量时，人类需要更多地依靠科技和知识来保护自己。

### Cyclone Hits Chaoshu, Guangdong, Causes Severe Damage to Trees
The Chaoshu district in Guangdong province has been struck by a moderate-intensity cyclone, causing extensive damage to trees, according to the Guangdong provincial meteorological bureau on the 27th. The town of Guantang in Xiangqiao district was hit by the cyclone around 18:40 on the 26th, due to the influence of Typhoon Geami’s outer spiral cloud band. The unexpected storm has resulted in trees being uprooted and snapped, impacting the local ecosystem. After consulting, the Guangdong provincial meteorological station, the Chaoshu meteorological bureau, and the Foshan Cyclone Research Center determined that the cyclone’s intensity was moderate, equivalent to an EF1 level on the International Fujita Scale.
A cyclone is an extreme, localized, small-scale severe weather phenomenon characterized by strong convection movements, typically forming under highly unstable atmospheric conditions. It is known for its intense rotation and rapid movement, causing significant destruction on the ground. The recent cyclone event in Chaoshu serves as a reminder of the unpredictability and destructive power of extreme weather events, emphasizing the need for enhanced meteorological warning and emergency response systems to protect lives and property.
The exact extent of the damage is still being assessed, with local authorities organizing rescue and recovery efforts. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, keeping a close eye on weather information and taking necessary precautions to prepare for potential extreme weather changes. This incident also underscores the importance of meteorological science and the necessity for humans to rely more on technology and knowledge to protect themselves against the forces of nature.
