- BBC Weather Watcher and others captured scenes across Scotland during Storm Boelo on Sunday, creating a visual record of the storm’s destruction.
- A falling tree killed a man as Storm Boelo battered Scotland.
- Storm Boelo left 160,000 properties without power.
- NI and Republic still had around 6,000 properties without power after Storm Boelo.
Why it matters: The scale of the outage—160,000 properties without electricity—shows the material consequence for Scottish communities, while the death of a man makes the human cost explicit. Around 6,000 properties in NI and the Republic also remained without power, extending the disruption beyond Scotland.
