Wintry Storm Éowyn named set to cause damage
People are being urged not to travel on Friday during the red weather warning and to avoid unnecessary travel when it passes due to the extremely strong winds which will result in fallen trees and power lines, destruction to property, flying debris, and road blockages. This could also lead to cancellation of events, wave overtopping, coastal flooding in low lying and exposed areas and unsafe working conditions as well as significant structural damage and disruption and cancellations to transport.
Public safety is paramount. Everyone must act responsibly to protect themselves and others while reducing pressure on emergency services and crews. If travel is not essential, stay indoors, secure property, and avoid unnecessary risks.
Coastal areas face dangerous storm surges and flooding, and under no circumstances should people put themselves at risk by engaging in storm voyeurism.
