Another huge storm is hitting Britain. And although it is not as strong as its predecessor, which hit the British Isles on Monday, it still leaves significant damage. This is the tenth extreme storm since September last year. The UK appears to be experiencing one of the stormiest weather-related periods in history.
The British had not yet calculated the damage caused by Storm Isha and were already hit by Storm Jocelyn. Strong winds and rain lash almost the entire territory of Great Britain. However, according to available information, the situation is worst in Northern Ireland and Scotland.
“We’re in the north, we have to deal with it somehow. We will surviveLindsey Fairbeirn, owner of a shop in one of the affected areas, takes the situation calmly: According to meteorologists, winds reach speeds of up to 120 kilometers per hour in the north of the country.
”You can see for yourself how the trees lie on the streets. Terrible. The weather is still bad in Scotland, but this was the worst storm here in ten years.says Paul Smith, a resident of the Scottish town of Grangemouth. The authorities had issued a warning before the storm, and in some places people stormed shops selling food and drinking water. Tens of thousands of households are still without electricity. According to the authorities, restoring supplies is only possible where there is no longer any danger.
Extreme weather affected all traffic. Ports, some roads and bridges were closed and many flights had to be canceled. And in some places there is a risk of flooding, according to meteorologists. For the first time in the history of Great Britain and Ireland, the islands have been hit by ten severe storms in five months. This will likely be the most turbulent period in the country’s history.
