London (AP News) -Anduring the power network was blocked by a hurricane -class strong wind, and a wide range of mobile disorders, many millions of people in Ireland and the northern UK followed the recommendations of the authorities’ home. 。
The forecasters had issued an unusual “red” weather warning to the dangers of life in the whole Ireland Island and the Central and Southwest Scotland.
Ireland was first standing on the Arashi arrow, and was hit by a gust of 114 miles per hour (183 km / h), the strongest since World War II. Winter storm He spilled from the Atlantic Ocean and reached Scotland.

According to local police, a man has died in a Donigal prefecture in the northwestern part of Ireland.
Arashi is progressing rapidly and is expected to leave the Scottish coast late on Friday.
In the center of the city, such as Dublin, Ireland, Belfast in Northern Ireland, and Glasgow in Scotland, the shops are still closed and people follow the recommendations to refrain from going out. It was eerie and quiet. For those who actually left the house and were hit by a gust, it was difficult to keep upright.
“I would like to thank the people who almost followed the Scottish police’s recommendation to refrain from traveling,” said John Swiny, the first Minister of Scotland.
A record strong wind hit the island, with more than 1 million houses, farms and companies on Ireland and North Ireland. In Scotland, 100,000 customers have been reported to have a power outage.
AP communication correspondent Karen Chamas has reported a powerful storm that struck Ireland and Britain.
Schools are closed, and in the Ireland Republic and the United Kingdom, this system, which was named “Arashi Eo Win” (pronounced II Win) by weather authorities, to London Heathrow Airport, railway, ferry, or more. The airplane was canceled. I shouted.

The confusion is expected to last until Saturday. For example, Scott Rail stated that it was necessary to fully evaluate the network, including rubble removal, because the storm caused severe damage to the infrastructure.
According to the Ireland Meteorological Bureau Met Alien, a 114 -mile gust was recorded on the west coast early in the morning at Mace Head on the west coast, and the record of 113 miles per hour (182 kg), which was set up in 1945, was broken. Scotland’s wind speed was slightly lower during the day, but it was still historically high.
Some of the storms of Arashi came from a system that brought Arashi. Historical snowfall along the Mexican Bay coast of the United StatesSaid Jason Nichols, Chief of the Civil Meteorological Company Acuther.
Aowin becomes a bomb low pressure, and occurs when the storm pressure falls 24 hours a day. It brought a whiplash wind and heavy rain to some of Ireland and British. The wind blowing on the sea has less friction than transmitting other terrain, so it can reach a fierce speed like a hill.
Arashi was so powerful that the meteorologists mean that the sting jet was developed and that Aowin was exposed to a very strong wind over the atmosphere. The Sting Jet is a narrow area that flows at a speed of 161 km / h (161 km), and is drawn into the ground from the center of the convection zone and lasts several hours.
It is not clear that the strong gust of 114 miles (183 km / h) that attacks Ireland is related to the Sting Jet.
“I can’t tell if I have to look back and check the data, but it looks like a sting jet.
Scientists have stated that the following effects are accurately identified. Climate change It is difficult to be in a storm, but all storms are occurring in the atmosphere that is warm at abnormal speeds due to pollutants such as carbon dioxide and methane released by humans.
“As the climate is warmed, these storms are expected to become more intense and larger,” said Professor Haley Fowler, who specializes in the impact of the climate change at Newcastle University.
