A trampoline took flight and a plane struggled to land as Storm Éowyn hit the UK and Ireland. More than 1,000 flights were cancelled and a number of main roads closed as millions of people were asked to stay home amid red “danger to life” warnings owing to a rare “weather bomb” brought by the storm. Rail and ferry services were cancelled on Friday as the storm left hundreds of thousands of people without power and forced the closure of businesses and schools across Northern Ireland and Scotland. Fallen trees and debris blocked several main roads across Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Scotland.
