🌧️💨 Storm Dave Hits Wales! 💨🌧️
Easter weekend took a wild turn as Storm Dave swept through Wales, leaving a trail of chaos. Hold onto your hats because the wind speeds were off the charts—93mph in Capel Curig and 81mph in Aberdaron! The gusts were so intense that an amber weather warning was issued, warning of potential injuries and danger due to massive waves and flying debris. Spooky stuff, right?
Unfortunately, many homes across the region are in the dark as power cuts have affected hundreds. National Grid reported power outages in south and west Wales, while parts of north Wales faced similar issues. As of now, around 140 homes are still without power.
But that’s not all! Be cautious, especially if you’re near the coast. Flood alerts have been announced for eight areas along the Welsh coastline due to a combination of high tides and wild weather. Areas like the north Gower Coast, Pembrokeshire coast, and north east Wales coastline are on alert. If you’re near beaches, promenades, or low-lying areas, stay safe and keep an eye on updates.
Stay informed about the latest flood warnings by visiting the Natural Resources Wales website. Remember to stay safe and look after one another. Here’s hoping for calmer weather soon! 💪✨
