Stormy weather in parts of Great Britain and Ireland also delayed train services and power outages on Thursday night. In Scotland and England, many train connections were canceled – due to falling trees on the tracks, damage to overhead lines or signal systems.

Thousands of homes in the north of England were temporarily cut off from electricity. “Dudley”, as the storm is called in Great Britain, brought wind speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour. Another, even stronger storm was expected on Friday.
