風暴Éowyn襲擊英國與愛爾蘭,造成嚴重破壞
風暴Éowyn為英國和愛爾蘭帶來了前所未有的破壞和危險,包括破紀錄的強風、大範圍停電以及基礎設施的重大損壞。這場風暴於星期五襲擊,被形容為近年來最嚴重的天氣事件之一,部分地區的陣風超過每小時100英里。
在蘇格蘭,發出了紅色天氣警告,南拉納克郡的風速達到每小時100英里。蘇格蘭警方呼籲居民避免出行,指出飛散的碎片、結構損壞和交通中斷可能帶來「生命危險」。不幸的是,一名49歲的男子在歐文被掉落的屋頂瓦片擊中身亡,突顯了這場風暴的致命影響。學校關閉,緊急服務報告稱求助電話激增,倒下的樹木和翻覆的車輛導致道路混亂。
愛爾蘭也面臨嚴峻情況,全國範圍內發出了紅色風暴警告。一名男子在多尼戈爾因樹木倒塌壓中他的汽車而身亡,超過72.5萬處物業停電。風暴對建築物造成廣泛破壞,屋頂被掀翻,碎片散落在道路上。在北愛爾蘭,所有學校關閉,數千戶家庭停電。由於紅色警告,M74和A75道路關閉,緊急服務警告「非常危險的情況」。
英國各地的交通網絡嚴重中斷。數百架航班取消,包括利茲布拉德福德機場的航班,鐵路運營商建議避免在受影響地區出行。約克郡的A1(M)公路多輛重型貨車被強風吹翻,包括伍德黑德山口和A66在內的主要道路關閉。蘇格蘭鐵路暫停所有服務,北愛爾蘭的鐵路網絡遭受重大損壞。
英國氣象局警告,風暴的影響將持續到週末,預計會有更多的風雨。首席氣象學家傑森·凱利警告,另一個低壓系統將於星期日抵達,帶來更多降雨和潛在的洪水,可能阻礙恢復工作。
受影響地區的居民被敦促留在家中,避免不必要的出行,並為長時間停電做好準備。風暴已經對房屋、企業和基礎設施造成重大損壞,預計恢復需要時間。當局繼續監測情況,緊急服務正在努力恢復電力供應並清理碎片。
