Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland are braced for a storm spiraling in from the Atlantic, bringing gusts of up to 100 m

A rare “stay at home” warning has been issued for parts of the United Kingdom and Ireland as a severe storm lashes the region, bringing dangerous 100mph (160 kmh) winds and unleashing travel chaos.

Storm Eowyn Friday continued to cause power outages for hundreds of thousands, knocked down trees and disrupted transportation as it moved across Scotland and Northern Ireland into Britain's West Midlands region.

Ireland's national weather service says the country has seen 114 mph wind gusts, the highest ever recorded on the island.

Three years have passed since substantial changes were made to the GB Highway Code, which introduced new rules on a ‘hierarchy of road users’, junction priority, close passes, and much more. While the Northern Ireland government is waiting to see the impact of those changes, Cycling UK has warned that greater delays will cost more lives.

The storm brought 100 mile-per-hour winds to the island and also battered Scotland and northern England. Britain’s weather office issued a red warning, its highest level of alert.

The bank has blamed the decision to shut the branches on customers shifting away from banking in person to using mobile services.

Damage could be seen in Belfast in Northern Ireland on Friday as a major storm continued to lash Ireland and Scotland with hurricane-force winds.

The storm had knocked out power to more than half a million utility customers by early Friday as it moved across Ireland.

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