Storm Eowyn causes widespread power outages and disruption in UK and Ireland, leaving hundreds of thousands without electricity

The recent storm Éowyn has had a significant impact on the UK and Ireland. It is described as an extratropical "bomb" cyclone that formed in the North Atlantic and intensified rapidly. This has led to strong winds, heavy rain, and in some areas, snow. The storm has caused widespread power outages, with over 725,000 homes losing electricity in Ireland. The Electricity Supply Board (ESB) has stated that it may take up to a week to restore power to all homes.
