Two people have died and tens of thousands were left without power after Storm Isha wreaked havoc across the UK with gusts as high as 107mph. Police Scotland said an 84-year-old man died after a car in which he was a passenger crashed into a fallen tree on the A905 at Grangemouth at about 11.45pm on Sunday. In Limavady, Northern Ireland, a man in his 60s died in a road collision involving two vans and a fallen tree at about 9.45pm on Sunday. A 26-year-old man was in a critical condition after his car collided with a fallen tree in Cramlington, Northumberland at 6.55am on Monday. The wild weather led to widespread power cuts. About 24,000 households in Northern Ireland were without power on Monday afternoon, down from a height of 53,000. There were also power cuts affecting thousands of people in north-west England, while more than 170,000 properties in the Republic of Ireland were without power. The entire UK was subject to Met Office wind warnings on Monday although the freakishly high gusts recorded overnight were not expected to return. They included 107mph on the Tay Road Bridge at Dundee, recorded by Transport Scotland, and 99mph at Brizlee Wood, an air defence radar station in Northumberland. The next storm due to hit the UK and Ireland has been named Storm Jocelyn, which is expected to cause strong winds from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. ScotRail services across Scotland would be suspended from 7pm on Tuesday and there would be no rush-hour services the following morning, the railway operator said. The winds in Storm Isha brought down trees across the UK including three at the Dark Hedges, a tunnel of beech trees in County Antrim made famous by their appearance on Game of Thrones. Late last year it was announced several of the ancient trees would be cut down as there was a risk branches could fall on visitors. On Monday, Mervyn Storey, the chair of the Dark Hedges Preservation Trust, said: “This is another blow to the Dark Hedges. In fact one of the trees that was healthy has been blown down. It is very sad.” Fallen trees badly affected transport. Traffic Scotland reported that stretches of the M9 and M74 were among roads closed throughout Sunday night, while the A1 southbound was closed at Thorntonloch due to an overturned lorry. High winds forced the closure of the Tay Road Bridge, M48 Severn Bridge and the A66 in Durham and Cumbria between the A1(M) and the M6, while the Humber Bridge, A19 Tees flyover and A628 Woodhead Pass in Derbyshire were closed to high-sided vehicles. A number of people were rescued by firefighters from flooded roads in the Yorkshire Dales. North Yorkshire fire and rescue said crews were sent to Morton Bridge, at Morton-on-Swale, in the early hours of Monday morning and helped occupants from four trapped vehicles. Most rail services were returning to normal on Monday after widespread cancellations due to fallen trees and flooding. Rail companies asked people who lived near lines to secure garden items. A trampoline blocked the tracks at Hastings, a shed was removed at Bellgrove in Glasgow and an entire greenhouse was on the line at Westgate-on-Sea in Kent. Numerous ferry crossings and flights were cancelled because of the storm. There were also aborted landings at airports in the UK and Ireland, and many more scary ones. The BBC presenter Jennifer Jones described her experience when her plane from Geneva attempted to land at Bristol airport on Sunday evening. “It was incredibly turbulent and the plane was lurching from side to side and it was pretty harrowing, I have to say,” she told Radio Wales Breakfast. The Bristol landing was aborted and the plane was diverted to Edinburgh. “When we landed, everyone onboard just burst into applause and my friends and I just burst into tears. It sounds dramatic but I was thinking of my husband and my children. It was pretty hair-raising.” A Ryanair flight from Manchester to Dublin was diverted to Paris, eventually landing to applause in Dublin nine hours after take-off. Agencies across Cumbria declared themselves on standby for a major incident, with the Sellafield nuclear site closing as a precaution on Sunday. For Storm Jocelyn, the UK Met Office has issued an amber warning for wind that covers western and northern Scotland from 6pm on Tuesday until 8am on Wednesday. Less serious yellow warnings were issued for wind across much of the UK north of Oxford and Peterborough, and for rain in an area of western Scotland stretching from the border with England to near Inverness. The Police Service of Northern Ireland said the weather was putting “significant pressure” on the 999 system and urged people to report non-emergencies online or by calling 101.
