- Storm Boelo left 160,000 properties without power, the largest figure carried across the coverage of the storm's aftermath.
- One man was killed by a falling tree as the storm struck, the human toll BBC Environment placed in the headline of two separate reports.
- Flights were disrupted after Storm Boelo, adding travel chaos to the mass power cuts and the death reported in Scotland.
- BBC Environment asked when the weather would settle after Storm Boelo, turning attention to conditions that had not yet settled once the storm had passed.
- Outage figures differ between reports: 160,000 properties without power in one BBC Environment headline, "thousands" without electricity in another, so the two counts do not describe the same snapshot.
- Video reports of the aftermath across Scotland are being published under the Scotland and severe-weather topics, joining BBC Environment's written coverage of the same storm.
Why it matters: Scottish households and travelers are carrying the bill: 160,000 properties lost power, one man was killed by a falling tree and flights were disrupted. With the weather still unsettled, the operative problem is no longer the storm's peak but the power and transport disruption left in its wake.
