Storm Eowyn Causes Widespread Disruption Across Ireland and the UK
A major storm, referred to as Storm Eowyn, has wreaked havoc across Ireland and the UK, bringing hurricane-force winds that have downed power lines and caused severe travel disruptions. With gusts reaching record speeds of up to 114 mph, the storm has left nearly one million people without power, and significant travel chaos ensued as numerous flights were canceled, including from major airports like Heathrow and Gatwick. The situation has prompted government officials to prepare financial aid for those affected. As the storm continues to impact the region, new weather warnings have been issued, and images reveal extensive damage, particularly in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Tragically, the storm has resulted in at least one confirmed death.
