Buildings and trees damaged as Storm Éowyn brings hurricane force wind

Hurricane force Storm Éowyn winds have caused damage and felled trees across the UK and Ireland.
A rare red weather warning was in place in Northern Ireland and Scotland from the Met Office. Met Eireann also had alerts in place for the Republic of Ireland, which faced the brunt of the wind on the west coast.
On Friday, a record-breaking wind speed of 183kmh (114 mph) was measured in Mace Head, Co Galway, in Ireland, Met Eireann said.
The previous highest wind speed on record was 182kmh (113mph) set in January 1945 in Foynes, Co Limerick, according to the weather service.
Rail services, flights and ferries have been axed, and rare red weather warnings are in place on Friday in Scotland and Northern Ireland, as winds of up to 100mph have swept the country.
The storm is likely to rip the roofs from buildings, uproot trees and cause power cuts, according to the Met Office alerts.
Hurricane force winds are those that reach at least 74mph, according to the Beaufort scale, the Met Office said.
