Storm Boelo Kills Two and Cuts UK Power

Winds reached 85mph in western Scotland. The Met Office, the UK's weather service, had a wind warning for Scotland and parts of northern England. It asked people to stay inside if they could. The head of the electricity group said one problem was how quickly Boelo came after Austen. Workers could not safely fix power lines until the storm had passed. A weather expert said storms often come one after another.

The storms also brought floods, especially in the town of Largs in Scotland. One restaurant said there was "nothing left" of its kitchen. Some flights were cancelled, trains were late and a day of horse racing was stopped. A newspaper said a plane slid off the runway at Birmingham Airport. It also said a 1,000-year-old bridge was washed away. By Monday, about 39,000 customers still had no power. But more strong winds were expected in Scotland on Tuesday.
