Eyewitness Footage Captures Powerful Storm Éowyn Battering UK and Ireland

Millions are being urged to stay indoors as dangerously high winds and rain brought by Storm Éowyn pounded the UK and the Republic of Ireland on Friday morning.

A record wind gust of 114mph was recorded in Mace Head, County Galway, according to forecaster Met Éireann.

Dramatic CCTV footage shows the moment floods began rising close to Galway Atlantaquaria at 0230 local time.

The aquarium said the animals were safe but the weather was “some of the worst we’ve seen”.

Social media footage shows roads that have been blocked by fallen trees.

A red wind warning is in place in Northern Ireland and Scotland as authorities fear Éowyn could endanger lives.
