"Storm Ashley has wreaked havoc across parts of the country, bringing hurricane-force winds and torrential rain. On October 20th, Salthill, located on Ireland’s Atlantic coast, bore the full brunt of the storm during high tide."

"Footage captured by Paul O’Brien shows the Atlantic Ocean at its wildest. Waves lashed the Salthill Promenade as motorists braved the treacherous conditions, despite repeated warnings from authorities to avoid the area."


"Wind speeds reached up to 85 miles per hour in parts of the Scottish Highlands, with gusts of over 111 miles per hour recorded at Cairn Gorm summit. Here in Salthill, the storm surge was particularly fierce as the Atlantic Ocean surged over the promenade."

"Despite the dangers, some motorists continued to drive along the waterfront, navigating through the rising waters as the storm intensified."


"Authorities are urging residents to remain indoors and avoid coastal areas as Storm Ashley continues to make its way across the region."
