24.01.2025 ⇢ The Day Storm Eowyn Locked Britain
⌨
Storm Eowyn dominated coverage with unprecedented force, prompting rare red warnings across Britain. Wind speeds escalated throughout the morning from 108mph to 114mph, leading to nationwide school closures and flight cancellations. By midday, a dangerous 'sting jet' development intensified the storm's impact.
The first storm-related death occurred in the afternoon when a man was killed by a falling roof tile. Hospital backup generators failed as power cuts affected over one million people. Satellite images revealed extensive damage, including impact to a major football stadium.
Other developments received limited coverage: Hamas announced the planned release of four female Israeli hostages, while Trump began implementing deportation flights. The Southport killer case continued generating debate about capital punishment, with reports of his transfer to Belmarsh prison.
