A powerful storm moved its way across Ireland, Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom on Friday morning, leaving hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses without power and causing major travel disruptions.

According to the Met Eireann, the Irish Meteorological Service, the storm, known as Storm Eowyn, will bring “gale to storm force southwest to west winds” Friday, with destructive and damaging wind gusts.

“Violent storm force to hurricane force winds will occur for a time too in coastal areas of the west and north,” the service said in its Friday forecast. The winds are expected to weaken Friday evening, with scattered showers moving into the area, especially in the western and northern portions.
