🌊 Brace yourselves, folks! Towering waves have slammed the Welsh coastline, leaving a trail of wreckage just as a snow warning looms overhead! ⚠️
🏄♀️ Benllech, nestled in northeast Anglesey, felt the full force as giant waves smashed through sea walls, scattering debris across roads. The scenes, captured by locals, were nothing short of “terrifying.”
🚧 Anglesey Council has shut down the affected routes and is on alert to assess and tackle the damage as soon as conditions permit. Another high tide could intensify the situation overnight, so stay tuned for updates!
🏝️ Across eastern Anglesey, ferocious easterly winds and high tides caused chaos, flooding seafront streets and beach roads with rocks and seaweed. Residents are urged to take extra care, especially with sporadic coastal flooding the norm in some areas.
🚗 One local motorist shared her shock: “In 43 years, I’ve never driven through floods directly caused by waves! Everyone, stay safe out there.”
🚨 Natural Resources Wales issued a flood warning, affecting the North Wales coastline, including Llanddulas. They’re also advising everyone to steer clear of potentially hazardous objects that might wash ashore.
🥶 Meanwhile, Cyngor Gwynedd has activated its Severe Weather Emergency Protocol to support anyone sleeping rough, as a rare snow and ice warning, including the possibility of freezing rain, is in effect.
Stay safe, keep warm, and let’s keep an eye on the weather together! ⚡❄️
