Storm Éowyn Leaves Hundreds of Thousands Without Power Across Ireland and UK

Severe weather damages infrastructure, disrupts transport, and claims one life as recovery efforts face further challenges.

Storm Éowyn brought record-breaking wind speeds of up to 183 km/h, causing widespread damage in Ireland and parts of the UK.
Over 402,000 households in Ireland and 140,000 in Northern Ireland remain without power, with 35,000 homes in Scotland also affected.
In Ireland, 120,000 people are without water, and the supply for 400,000 more is at risk, according to the national water provider.
Transport systems across the region, including flights, trains, buses, and ferries, have been severely disrupted, with some services slowly resuming.
Authorities warn of continued disruptions as another storm system, Herminia, is forecast to bring more severe weather, including rain, snow, and ice.
