Raphoe: It’s been a tough time in Co Donegal with Storm Eowyn causing chaos. A tree fell on a car early Friday morning, and sadly, the driver didn’t make it.
The storm has been wild, with winds hitting 183 km/h. That’s the strongest we’ve seen in ages! It knocked out power for about a million homes and businesses across Ireland.
Schools and public transport were shut down to keep everyone safe. The utility companies are still working hard to restore power, but some folks might be in the dark for a week.
Water supplies are also affected, with many people without water due to the storm’s impact on treatment plants. It’s a real mess out there.
Flights were canceled, and trees were down everywhere. Emergency services were busy dealing with the aftermath, including the tragic incident in Raphoe.
As the storm continues, people are being urged to stay safe and avoid unnecessary travel. It’s a tough time for many, and our thoughts are with those affected.
