風暴Éowyn襲擊英國,北愛爾蘭與蘇格蘭遭受嚴重影響
風暴Éowyn為英國帶來了嚴重的天氣狀況,北愛爾蘭和蘇格蘭首當其衝。英國氣象局發布了罕見的紅色風力警報,表示由於某些沿海地區的陣風達到每小時100英里,可能對生命造成威脅。紅色警報是最高級別的警報,持續到週五下午2點,而琥珀色和黃色警報則持續到晚上。
風暴造成了廣泛的破壞,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,北愛爾蘭電力網絡警告稱,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電話,北愛爾蘭消防和救援服務回應了超過160起事件,包括建築物損壞和樹木倒塌。
在蘇格蘭,風暴在某些地區帶來了超過每小時90英里的風速,導致停電和交通混亂。蘇格蘭鐵路公司取消了週五的所有服務,阿伯丁和阿伯丁郡的學校作為預防措施全部關閉。蘇格蘭政府敦促居民避免出行,指出存在建築物損壞、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,這些惡劣天氣是由強烈的噴流驅動的,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,但週末還發布了進一步的雪和冰的警報。當局建議公眾保持警惕,並為持續的混亂做好準備。
