Millions of people in Ireland and northern parts of the U.K. are being urged to stay at home as hurricane-force winds disabled power networks.

Hundreds of thousands of homes lost power as gusts of 183 kilometers per hour lashed the western coast of Ireland. In Scotland, hundreds of schools were closed and train operator ScotRail suspended all services.

Disruption is continuing after Storm Eowyn battered Scotland, claiming one life and leaving thousands without power. On Sunday evening around 16,000 properties were still without electricity as power companies worked to restore supplies after the storm on Friday.
