ESB: STORM COULD KNOCK OUT POWER SUPPLIES, CHARGE UP DEVICES

ESB Networks has asked customers to charge devices ahead of the storm set to hit Donegal overnight.

Ex-hurricane Gonzalo lost its tropical storm status earlier today and is now classed as an ‘extra-tropical’ depression.

The centre is heading towards Scotland, but winds to the south of it – which can be stronger – will come right across Co Donegal, say forecasters.

ESB Networks says customers should charge devices and prepare for possible power outages overnight.

An Orange weather alert is in place from 7pm until lunchtime tomorrow.
