Video by Cammy Murray (@uav360drone) captures the ferocity of Storm Floris as it slammed into Fort William, Scotland, on August 4, 2025. With hurricane-force gusts tearing through the region, Murray was forced to tether down for safety while filming. The dramatic drone footage shows sailboats battling rough seas, with at least one vessel appearing to be in distress—underscoring the perilous conditions brought by the storm. BBC Weather had issued warnings for disruptive winds across northern parts of the UK as Floris intensified. This extreme weather event is part of a concerning trend. Experts draw comparisons to Hurricane Bawbag in 2011, which also unleashed hurricane-force winds in Scotland. Such recurring episodes highlight the region’s vulnerability to violent Atlantic weather systems, as noted in several meteorological studies. Local authorities have urged maritime operators and residents to remain cautious as cleanup and recovery efforts begin.
