As the storm raged on, a daring diver decided to take a leap into the rough seas off the coast of Galway, Ireland. Despite the warnings from lifeguards that Storm Isha had made the waters dangerous, the diver was determined to take on the challenge. The moment was captured on film as the diver ran and jumped off the Blackrock Diving Tower on Sunday. However, the footage sparked criticism from many who believed that it encouraged reckless behavior and put rescuers' lives at risk.
One person wrote on social media, "What these daredevils fail to realize is that when they get into trouble, it's the RNLI volunteers who will risk their lives to save them. It's reckless and selfish." The RNLI, which covers both British and Irish coasts, has urged extreme caution for anyone visiting the coast during the storm. They warned that strong winds and waves could knock people off their feet or even wash them into the sea. Thrill-seekers were also advised not to take selfies with the huge waves on beaches, piers, or cliffs.
In case of any emergencies, the RNLI advises people to lay back in the water, extend their arms and legs, and try to relax until they regain control of their breathing. But the storm has not only affected the coast, as it has also caused chaos across the UK. Amber and yellow weather warnings were issued as Storm Isha brought winds of up to 100mph on Sunday. The strongest winds in decades were recorded in parts of Northern Ireland, England, and Scotland.
Tragically, an 84-year-old man lost his life when his car collided with a fallen tree in Fife. In Yorkshire, motorists had to be rescued from floodwaters, and homeowners around the country woke up to property damage caused by the storm. Train services were also affected, with cancellations and delays nationwide. Some flights out of UK airports were also canceled due to the storm.
As the storm continued to wreak havoc, the Tornado and Storm Research Organization warned that there was a possibility of one or two tornadoes in England and Wales on Monday morning. Tens of thousands of people were left without power, and officials warned of the risk of further damage to homes, as well as fallen trees, flying debris, and floods. The storm has caused chaos and destruction, and it's not over yet. But as always, the brave volunteers of the RNLI are ready to risk their lives to rescue those in need. Stay safe out there, everyone.
