風暴Éowyn襲英,北愛爾蘭與蘇格蘭遭受重創
風暴Éowyn為英國帶來了惡劣的天氣狀況,北愛爾蘭和蘇格蘭首當其衝。英國氣象局發出了罕見的紅色風暴警告,表示由於部分沿海地區的陣風高達每小時100英里,可能對生命構成威脅。紅色警告是最高級別的警報,一直持續到星期五下午2點,而琥珀色和黃色警告則持續到晚上。
風暴造成了廣泛的混亂,包括北愛爾蘭所有學校的關閉和公共交通服務的暫停。數千戶家庭斷電,NIE Networks警告稱,由於工作條件不安全,恢復供電將需要相當長的時間。緊急服務部門接到了大量求助電話,北愛爾蘭消防和救援服務部門處理了超過160宗事件,包括結構損壞和樹木倒塌。
在蘇格蘭,風暴帶來了部分地區超過每小時90英里的風速,導致停電和交通混亂。ScotRail取消了星期五的所有服務,阿伯丁和阿伯丁郡的學校也作為預防措施關閉。蘇格蘭政府呼籲居民避免出行,指出存在結構損壞、電力中斷和危險的戶外條件的風險。
風暴還造成了嚴重的沿海洪水和基礎設施損壞,有報告稱樹木被連根拔起,碎片散落在道路上。英國氣象局警告稱,惡劣天氣是由於強烈的噴射氣流驅動,受到北美冷空氣的影響,這加劇了風暴的影響。
隨著風暴向東北移動,天氣狀況開始緩解,但周末還發布了進一步的雪和冰警告。當局建議公眾保持警惕,並為持續的混亂做好準備。
