Storm Boelo Leaves Thousands Without Power and Cancels Flights Across Ireland
Published
Storm Boelo has caused major disruption across the island of Ireland, leaving thousands of homes without electricity. The strong winds and heavy weather have affected many parts of the country and Northern Ireland, and people have been asked to take care when travelling.
Flights have been cancelled at both Belfast and Dublin airports. Travellers who were planning to fly have been advised to check with their airlines before they leave for the airport, as schedules may keep changing during the storm. Many passengers have faced delays and uncertainty about when they will be able to travel.
Power companies are working to repair damaged lines and restore electricity to the affected homes. Engineers are dealing with fallen trees and damaged equipment in several areas, so it may take some time before supplies return to normal. Households without power are being told to stay safe, to avoid fallen cables, and to keep updated through official sources.
Forecasters expect the weather to remain difficult for some time. Residents are advised to follow local warnings and to prepare for further disruption until conditions improve.
