🌊 Storm Babet impacted large parts of the North East. Using high-resolution wave modelling, we can now simulate wave heights and energy across the full event and apply the same approach to past and future storms to better understand coastal impacts. #WaveModelling #StormBabet #CoastalScience
How stormy can it be? Well, so stormy that the spray comes up over the lighthouse!
Storm Babet was a couple of years ago - and she brought #rainbows over the clifftops!

As part of a European journalism team I reported @theferret.scot, funded by IJ4EU, on how eastern Scotland is grappling with flooding and coastal erosion, two years after #StormBabet in two articles: theferret.scot/communities-... 1/

Did you know that we have developed a #GCSE case study about #StormBabet which struck the UK in October 2023💧📖?
This case study discusses the causes & its social, economic & environmental impacts.
Check it out here 🔗https://thefloodhub.co.uk/gcse-storm-babet-case-study
The UK is seeing more frequent, intense #storms like #StormBabet, #StormHenk & #StormChristoph – all caused major river #flooding.
🌧️ Intense rainfall overwhelms rivers, raising flood risk. This growing pattern is linked to #ClimateChange.

Wait until #Reform cllrs find out that ‘spending on climate change’ includes spending on flood prevention initiatives in their local area to mitigate against flooding caused by err.. climate change.

In a snowy County Hall today for the Place Scrutiny Cttme meeting focusing on the response to #StormBabet.
I questioned Council's flood team, Environment Agency and water companies to ensure lessons are learned after the devastating floods that affected 1,700 homes and tragically claimed a life.
Came home from London to carpet instead of concrete in the front room…over a year since the flooding and renovations are still going on… #progress #stormbabet
It's worth clearing out culverts and ditches regularly, but if you live on a flood plain it won't stop flooding from a really big storm like #StormBabet
Over 100 tonnes of debris have been cleared from ditches & streams in one town to prevent last year’s devastating #StormBabet floods happening again. Communities & councils are working together to keep homes safe this winter

Right. Plans for #SteelCityBeerfest2024 coming together. Reserve accommodation booked in Sheffield if I can't get a room at The Crow Inn. Will book my train tickets nearer the time. Hoping the weather will be better this year after the nightmare of #StormBabet in 2023.
TV coverage implied Scotland would take the brunt of #StormBabet. But the impact was much more widespread.
Kate Viscardi tells how the storm battered a region completely unprepared for it and asks why the Met Office got it so wrong.

Storm Ciaran sounds like it's going to bring some wild weather next week...

It's still easy to get a Shag in north Norfolk, with another 4 in the creek at Brancaster Staithe this evening along with two very tame RTDivers (+SEO GWE redpolls etc) #StormBabet #seabirdSunday #loveautumn
More storms heading our way next week. Over 100mph gusts.
Good news for @theresecoffey with the wind in the right direction this time...

Excellent piece on the Met Office's #StormBabet failures in East Anglia, where extensive #flooding led to hundreds of ruined homes and businesses.

"Environment" Secretary Therese Coffey claimed exceptional rain from #stormbabet was difficult to predict.
Met Office predicted exceptional rain from #stormbabet with high accuracy.
Therese Coffey, Environment Secretary, ‘Most of our rain tends to come in from the West. #StormBabet came in from the East. We don't have quite as much experience with that’.
Finding myself increasingy jealous of people with leaves. #StormBabet
‘Impact of #StormBabet was more severe than it should have been [in Britain] because of the direction the rain travelled.’ According to one government minister. ✍️ @HuffPost
‘Britain doesn’t have ‘quite as much experience’ of rain coming from the east.’

🤯 Just check out the batshit level of this.
When asked why we weren’t better prepared in some places ahead of #StormBabet, Environment Secretary Therese Coffey said:
"Most of our rain comes from the West. This was rain coming from the other way. We don't have quite as much experience on that."

Storms away. Thinking of those still suffering in the aftermath #stormbabet #scotland

A small lake and a muddy river are some of the reminders of #StormBabet in Donabate today
Had a great time, despite the disruption caused by #StormBabet and managing to completely bugger up my right knee after I slipped on a wet pavement.
