Storm Éowyn Causes Extensive Damage Across Ireland, Scotland, Northern Ireland

Storm Éowyn has left a significant impact across Ireland and Scotland, with severe weather warnings in effect as recovery efforts continue. In Ireland, over 400,000 homes remain without power and 120,000 are without water, complicating the clean-up process as new wind and rain warnings are issued. In Northern Ireland, more than 280,000 properties lost power at the peak of the storm, with substantial road blockages due to fallen trees and infrastructure damage. Meanwhile, in Scotland, travel services are disrupted and more than 60,000 customers still lack power, with some major roads closed. Authorities anticipate that full restoration of services could take days or even weeks, as assessments of the storm damage are ongoing. The National Emergency Co-ordination Group in Ireland has mobilized resources to assist in recovery efforts amidst continuing adverse weather conditions.
