⚠️ Storm Darragh ⚠️ Residents are reminded to head warnings and to secure items such as Christmas decorations, wheelie bins, garden furniture, trampolines and loose items ahead of #StormDarragh later today and overnight. #Greenfields#Waterford@WaterfordCounci@AAWeatherWatch
Met Éireann has extended a Status Orange wind warning for Waterford which comes into effect at 8pm this evening (Friday, December 6th) until 10am tomorrow (Saturday, December 7th).
Waterford will also be under a Status Yellow wind warning from 3pm today until 3pm tomorrow.
#StormDarragh will bring heavy rain and strong and gusty northwest winds, potentially leading to large coastal waves with waves overtopping, difficult travelling conditions, damage to temporary structures, fallen trees, localised flooding, disruption to services, and damage to power lines.
• Please stay away from coastal areas during this period.
• Strong winds can make driving conditions hazardous, especially for the more vulnerable road users, e.g. cyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists, and high sided vehicles.
• There is a potential for tidal flooding in coastal areas. In addition to this, the storm may also bring localised heavy showers, which in turn may lead to surface flooding in urban locations.
• Please prepare for the arrival of the storm: ensure your mobile phone is fully charged to enable communication.
• Driving conditions will be hazardous throughout the weekend. Never drive through flooded roads, the depth of the water can be deceiving.
• Monitor Met Éireann forecasts and/or visit https://t.co/djXL4lGy7e for the most up to date information. Information is available across social media platforms and other news media sources.
• ESB Networks is highlighting the dangers posed by fallen live wires and is advising the public and the emergency services to stay away from these fallen cables and to report such cases to it immediately. ESB Emergency Services can be contacted at 1800 372 999. The public can monitor https://t.co/SpyGuCXg3j in regards to power restoration times.
