The storm brought record-breaking winds as it battered Ireland, Scotland and northern England on Friday. Hundreds of thousands of electricity customers were in the dark.

For context, the last big storm that NI had due to wind was Boxing Day 1998, when about 162,000 customers lost supply, so this is about 100,000 on top of that. NIE have requested additional support from colleagues in GB, but say it could be next week before that help arrives in NI.

A red weather warning for wind has been issued, with gusts expected to reach up to 100mph in parts of Scotland.

Storm Eowyn is expected to cause widespread disruption, including significant damage to buildings and road closures.
