London/Dublin, August 4 (H.S.): Storm Flossie has caused widespread destruction across parts of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Rail services have been severely disrupted in Scotland, while thousands of homes and businesses in Ireland are without electricity.
Network Rail has warned passengers that the storm’s impact on Scotland’s rail network could continue until Tuesday, as work is underway to clear fallen trees and debris from roads and tracks. While most routes have already been cleared, services will only resume fully after final safety inspections on Tuesday morning.
In Ireland, around 2,700 homes, farmhouses, and commercial premises are currently without electricity, according to confirmation from ESB Networks. The company stated that its teams were working late into the night to restore power, with most consumers expected to have service restored by tonight.
In its statement, the company said, “We apologise to all affected homes, farms, and businesses for this inconvenience.” Consumers can check real-time updates on power outages and restoration through the website ‘powercheck.ie’.
Due to Storm Flossie, several areas have experienced strong winds and heavy rainfall, resulting in uprooted trees, infrastructure damage, and hazardous travel conditions. Authorities have urged citizens to remain cautious and check the latest updates before travelling.
The full extent of the storm’s impact is yet to be assessed, and restoration efforts are expected to continue throughout the week.
