Emergency crews are cleaning up after a storm bearing record-breaking winds left at least one person dead and more than a million without power across the island of Ireland and Scotland.

Storm Éowyn ripped through the UK and Ireland with record-breaking wind gusts, causing widespread destruction, power outages and claiming at least one life as experts in the region call it the most powerful storm in more than a decade.

Storm Éowyn, pronounced ‘Ay-oh-win’, has been advancing toward Ireland and the United Kingdom and is expected to bring gusty winds, heavy rain and some snow to the region Friday and Saturday.
