Storm Éowyn has caused widespread destruction across the UK and Ireland, with one man killed in County Donegal after a tree struck his car. The storm, bringing 100mph winds in Drumalbin, Scotland, has been described as a "once in a generation" event. Two rare red warnings for dangerous winds have now been lifted in parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland. Over one million people are without power, and travel disruption is severe, with fallen trees blocking roads, cancelled flights, and suspended rail services. The full impact of the storm continues to unfold.
