Wind gusts reached 84 mph in Scotland, prompting an amber warning from the Met Office due to potential flying debris and powerful waves. Around 82,000 homes lost power, and airports, railways, roads, and ferry services faced significant disruptions. The storm, which followed Storm Austen, also caused flight cancellations in Amsterdam and injured three crew members on a freight vessel in Dutch waters.
