FOOTAGE has gone viral of cars being moved by strong waves in Scotland amid flood and wind warnings.
The video, which has more than 130,000 views on Facebook, shows two cars being pushed by dramatic waves over the rails at the promenade in Leven, Fife.
One person watching the weather outside shouts "f*****g hell man" as the cars come towards the house. A red car approaching the turning up the road, towards the cars, can be seen reversing.
It comes after Aberdeenshire Council said it was closing the area around Stonehaven harbour on police advice due to the risk from “overtopping waves” and sea conditions that posed a “serious risk to life”.
Drivers in Fife are being advised to avoid the area near the promenade due to the high tide destroying the barrier along the seafront.
On Friday, Fife Coast and Countryside Trust said: "Please be aware that a number of sites along the Fife coastline have been inundated by sea water.
"Access to Pathhead Sands is not advised due flooding. There has also been damage to the front at Leven near the swimming pool."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
