Storm Eowyn is set to hit Fife, bringing dangerous winds and potential disruptions. Stay safe and avoid unnecessary travel this Friday!
Fife: The Met Office has raised the alarm about Storm Eowyn. They say it’s going to be pretty wild on Friday, with strong winds starting around 10 am and lasting until 5 pm. Expect gusts between 80-90 mph, and maybe even up to 100 mph in some areas.
They’re warning us to be careful. The winds could cause a lot of trouble, like power outages and dangerous driving conditions. So, if you can, it’s best to stay indoors.
Things could get messy outside. Flying debris could be a real hazard, and roads, bridges, and railways might close. If you have stuff outside, like bins or garden furniture, make sure to secure them.
It’s not just about staying safe from debris; being outside in these winds can be risky. If you can, just hunker down at home. And if the power goes out, it’s smart to have some supplies ready, like torches and batteries.
For those near the coast, watch out for big waves. They can be dangerous, even from the shore. If things get really bad, don’t hesitate to call for help.
Travelers should also be aware. LNER has announced that there won’t be any trains running north of Newcastle after 11 am on Friday. So, if you’re planning to travel, keep that in mind.
By Saturday, the winds should calm down a bit, but Scotland will still feel the effects of Storm Eowyn with a yellow warning in place. Stay safe out there!
