Ireland has called in help from England and France to restore power to hundreds of thousands of people after the most disruptive storm for years.

The storm brought 100 mile-per-hour winds to the island and also battered Scotland and northern England. Britain’s weather office issued a red warning, its highest level of alert.

As of the most recent update, about 56,000 homes and businesses remain without electricity some three days after Storm Eowyn passed.
