Hello my dear Steemians,
Since yesterday weather forecast for Northern England is Scotland showed stormy and rainy weather. But it was so far OK and we thought that this is over and the bad weather skipped our area but it was not correct. Last 24 hours, it is weather warning everywhere in TV, newspaper, because there is a real Storm that is heading to Scotland.
Storm Babet |
|---|
It is common that such weather phenomenon have names this one is called Babet, it is a beautiful name but it is going to be a strong wind and rain combination.
It was predicted that the storm will strike Scotland after 18:00 and it will be till tomorrow morning at least in our area of Kingdom of Fife, we are luckily in Amber zone and according the forecast it is wind and rain but not so bad like in Aberdeen, Dundee or in Highland like you can see on the map.
Here is the link to more detailed information to it in "Daily Mail" and couple of snapshot from hte website:
Our place more to south from Perth, so we are away from Red Zone but even though we still hear how wind is hauling through our chimney.
We have our fireplace and enjoying the warmth of fire, we are lucky that we bought some wood logs and do not need to use e heating.
Stormy North Sea |
|---|
Today on the way home, we decided to check what is happening with our coast and promenade, it was high water and due to wind we have big crushing waves, you can see that the whole water is foamy. After being very short time at the stone wall at waterfront I felt salt on my lips but also that salty water made my hair rough. It is beautiful phenomenon but it is also very dangerous if it becomes stronger, so we only hope that the eye of storm is going away quick without much disaster.
Here we wanted to share some of the photos of stormy north sea.
Thank you, friend!

Wonderful photographs of the sea.
Here after about a week of night freezes, it's 80's high, 40's low Fahrenheit. Very nice almost no wind. Lovely. Hope the storm gives you no damage

I can imagine that sounds still very pleasant. Luckily after two days storm starting to settle and today we were able to have a walk around the town, in park and at seashore. There are not much damage and even tall trees were preserved, just a couple of them have broken branches but majority are OK. As to us, we had no damage as I worried about our tiles on roof but everything stayed tight.

You're lucky. You can hide out like safe. When the winter storms start here, I have to go out in them and remove as much snow as possible.
There is nothing to break any of the wind. We only have a two wheel drive truck and I am old now. I get the truck stuck in the snow...argh!
Good new is, we bought a snow blower last winter near the end of snow season and it actually works great!
Before that, it was snow shovels and stuck a lot. The driveway is 3/8 the of a mile long about 500 meters or six hundred steps. It's how I stay studly as an old fart. 😆

Storms usually get female names, so Babet = Babetta, a French name, right?
Stunning and scary images, one can feel some sinister things are going on. I am pretty afraid to go out with camera and take pics in such a situation.

Yes, it is indeed I just recalled Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, that cause a lot of devastation. Yes, it is always a beauty of nature but causes a lot of damage.

Hi @stef1,I agree with you when you say that it has a beautiful name, even the photographs allow us to see that the meteorological phenomenon forms a nice scenario, I could say nostalgic, but I hope that it does not have too much collateral damage since it is generally always expected.
I wish you a happy weekend and take care of yourself.

HI @lupega, we finally got over it, today is the first day that we do not hear howling wind and I am glad for that. We did not have much damage but our plants of course, could not tolerate that so some garden work next :)

Every storm is badly destroying the near-coastal area of the sea. Your photography was nice. but be safe and let help other to know about safety.
