Storm Eowyn is causing chaos in Glasgow as winds of up to 90mph are expected this afternoon. Trains, buses and the Subway are all shut down and people were instructed by Police Scotland and the Scottish Government to stay at home while a rare red weather alert is in place until 5pm for the central belt.

Emergency crews are cleaning up after a storm bearing record-breaking winds left at least one person dead and more than a million without power across the island of Ireland and Scotland.

Storm Éowyn, pronounced ‘Ay-oh-win’, has been advancing toward Ireland and the United Kingdom and is expected to bring gusty winds, heavy rain and some snow to the region Friday and Saturday.

Record high winds from Storm Eowyn battered Ireland and Northern Ireland on Friday, leaving one man dead and almost one-third of Irish homes and businesses without power and forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights.
