- Description:On August 19, 2023, Storm Betty's ferocious onslaught struck Clontarf, Dublin, Ireland, as captured in a video by @snowbiewx. Powerful waves, driven by intense winds from the storm, relentlessly battered the barrier during the night. The impact of the storm was further amplified by heavy rains and strong winds, prompting the Met Office to issue warnings about potential floods and the risk of fatalities due to massive waves crashing onto sea fronts. As dawn broke, the aftermath revealed a landscape of havoc: roads obstructed by fallen trees and debris, flooding necessitating a major clean-up effort, and over 70,000 homes, farms, and businesses grappling with power outages caused by the storm's force. In Clontarf, the public baths area bore the brunt of the high tide's assault, leaving behind swathes of seaweed and wreckage where paradise once stood, prompting local residents to join in the cleanup efforts.
