In the NI, bus and train services were suspended, all schools were recommended to close, and Belpast International Airport warned of serious flights.

Supermarket Chain Tesco added to a message to the customer that all the stores in Northern Ireland will close on Friday and will be canceled.

Northern Ireland police say the storm is “exceptional weather,” and is expected to bring the strongest winds experienced in this area since 1998.

MET IRANN, the Meteorological Agency of the Ireland Republic, has also issued a serious red weather alarm, with the possibility of “Hurricane -class wind”. The BBC Weather also said this could be a storm of century to Ireland.

According to the ESB, there are 715,000 buildings in the Ireland Republic, and “unprecedented damage to the power infrastructure has occurred.”

It will take a “significant day” to recover the power of all the affected customers, ESB added.

Ferry operators, including Irish Ferries, Stena Line, and Calmac, had to cancel numerous flights on Friday due to the situation of Irish and West Scotland.

The center of Storm Owyn is located northwest of Northern Ireland.

The core of a very powerful wind is striking the west coast of the Republic of Ireland, and a 183km/h gust of gusts on the 05:00 GMT.

This was the most powerful gust of blasts recorded in Ireland beyond the previous records set during the 1961 Hurricane Debbie.

The wind began to blow in Northern Ireland. Down County Kilowen recorded a gust of 92 miles per hour at GMT 06:00.

The storm will be moved east by Friday morning, so red alarms are issued from 10:00 to 17:00 throughout Scotland's central belt, including Glassgo and Edinburgh.

At least 20 local authorities, including most of the central Scotlands, are closed on Friday.

Scotrail confirmed that all the railroad services in Scotland will be suspended on Friday, and closure is intended to ensure the safety of customers and employees.

The train operators Avanti, Lner, Lumo, Crosscountry, Grand Central, Transpennine Express and Northern also warned not to travel to northern England and northern Wales on Friday.

Glasgo and Edinburgh Airport say they will limit their operation on Friday. Based on 03:00 GMT, almost all flights departed and arrived from both airports were canceled until Friday morning and afternoon.

The AA urged the driver to travel to the Red Meteorological Warning Area and not to postpone the trip.

The wind is rapidly increasing from the west to the east from Friday morning to afternoon, with the highest gust of 80-90 mph (129-145 km/h).

Many trees fly away, the trip is extensively interrupted, the road is likely to be seriously affected, and flights, trains and ferry can be canceled.

There is also a possibility of a blackout, some of which can last for several days.

The National Road Bureau says the A66 between North Yorkshire and Combia and the A628 between Flocky and Hollingworth will be closed due to strong winds.

The M48 -year -old Bridge of South Globalshire is also closed, and transportation is shifted to the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge. Tamar Bridge of A38 between Devon and Cornwall is prohibited from passing of expensive and other limited vehicles.
