🌧️🌊 Two feet high waves hit Briton Ferry! 🌧️🌊
Severe flooding has struck the Welsh town of Briton Ferry this morning (December 15th). Residents are reporting waves of floodwaters up to two feet high, as heavy rain continues to wreak havoc in the area. The Met Office has issued an urgent amber “danger to life” warning for parts of Wales, including Neath Port Talbot—reminding everyone to stay extra cautious!
One frustrated resident, Daniel Popp, shared: “It’s unbelievable. Despite warnings, cars keep ploughing through the water, making it twice as bad down the street. The waves from passing cars must’ve been about two feet high!”
While this road hasn’t seen flooding in the past three years, it’s clear the relentless rain is taking its toll today. Beyond Briton Ferry, many other areas across Wales are bracing for “heavy and persistent rainfall.”
The amber warning has been announced for numerous regions: Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Cardiff, Carmarthenshire, Neath Port Talbot, Swansea, and others. This warning remains in effect until 9pm tonight, so wherever you are, stay safe and stay informed! 🤞
