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. Work was underway Saturday to remove hundreds of trees blocking roads and railway lines in the wake of Storm Éowyn (pronounced AY-oh-win). In Ireland, wind snapped telephone poles, ripped apart a Dublin ice rink and even toppled a giant wind turbine. A record wind gust of 114 mph was recorded on the west coast. A 20-year-old man died after a tree fell on his car in northwest Ireland. The Irish Prime Minister said the destruction caused by the storm was “unprecedented.”
