Element in Wales: the powerful storm 'Bert' caused devastating floods and loss of life

As a result of the powerful storm 'Bert', an unprecedented disaster occurred in Wales - floods that led to the evacuation of residents and resulted in the deaths of three people in road accidents due to worsening weather conditions. Many streets and cars were flooded, and about a thousand people were left without electricity, reports The Sun.

Currently, certain areas of South Wales have been declared in a state of emergency due to the floods.

The floods damaged several towns, including Pontypridd, Ebbw Vale, and Aberdare. More than 100 warnings of possible floods have also been issued. The pedestrian bridge over the River Taff, which had already been restored after damage caused by storm 'Dennis' in 2020, was completely washed away by the powerful storm 'Bert'.

In the Synon Valley, railway tracks have been flooded, and the Kumbach railway station has been completely submerged.

Additionally, a landslide occurred in Kimmer (South Wales), causing destruction. Ten people were rescued from the rubble, but the damage is incredible.

It is also worth noting that a cyclone from Africa has caused strong winds that led to significant destruction in Turkey. In Istanbul, the sea level rose, resulting in boats and promenades being flooded. In Bursa, the wind was so strong that it knocked children off their feet.
