Ireland has called in help from England and France to restore power to hundreds of thousands of people after the most disruptive storm for years.

The storm brought 100 mile-per-hour winds to the island and also battered Scotland and northern England. Britain’s weather office issued a red warning, its highest level of alert.

In Northern Ireland, approximately 75 thousand electricity consumers remain without power. This happened after the destruction of the power system caused by Storm Éowyn, BBC reports. According to the source,

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.

Further support has been promised from London as work continues to repair damage caused across Northern Ireland by Storm Eowyn. On Sunday evening, more than 75,000 people remained without power and work continued to clear fallen trees from roads.

Record high winds from Storm Eowyn battered Ireland and Northern Ireland on Friday, leaving one man dead and almost one-third of Irish homes and businesses without power and forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights.

Around a million homes, farms and businesses across the island of Ireland were left without power on Friday following record-breaking winds. In Northern Ireland 189,000 homes and businesses remain without power following Storm Eowyn, NIE Networks has said.

Storm Eowyn Friday continued to cause power outages for hundreds of thousands, knocked down trees and disrupted transportation as it moved across Scotland and Northern Ireland into Britain's West Midlands region.

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.
