Storm Debi leaves trail of destruction as 'most intense storm' batters Ireland

Storm Debi’s trail of destruction has brought coastal flooding and left around 100,000 homes and businesses without power.

Met Eireann forecasters had warned of a potential “danger to life” as schools and services in parts of Ireland delayed opening due to weather warnings across the island. A yellow warning for every county in Ireland came into effect at midnight and is due to remain until 3pm on Monday. An ESB spokesman said approximately 100,000 customers were without power supply on Monday morning due to the storm Brian Tapley, of ESB Networks, said the worst affected areas are Tuam, Longford, the Midlands, Ashbourne and Navan.

“The warning really to people that are going to go out on the roads is to stay away from trees because they could be very easily entangled with power lines and there is other risks associated with trees,” he told RTE Radio.
