Part 3/5:
As the storm approaches, there is a notable atmosphere of unease in Banger. The town’s Victorian pier, known for its stunning views, is particularly vulnerable to the elements. Local businesses, including the Pavilion Cafe, are taking precautions by closing their doors in anticipation of the storm. The owners reflect on a troubling trend: unlike previous years, they have had to close more frequently due to adverse weather. "When I first took over six years ago, we didn't close at all for bad weather. But now, storms are occurring more often and even in summer months," a cafe owner shared, emphasizing the increasing severity of weather patterns they are experiencing.
