Supermarket giant Morrisons has issued a list of nearly 50 supermarkets which have been closed on Friday after the Met Office issued a red weather warning due to Storm Eowyn.
Morrisons has announced that 49 of its stores will be closed in Scotland today because of the storm with no set time for their reopening.
The storm has caused chaos in Scotland already today with power cuts, travel disruption and other supermarkets, such as Tesco and Sainsbury’s, also closing stores.
The Met Office’s red weather warning for wind is in place from 10am to 5pm on Friday in Scotland as well as Northern Ireland.
The whole of the rest of the UK has been put under amber and yellow weather warnings for wind or snow as well.
The Met Office said in its warning: “Very strong winds associated with Storm Éowyn causing very dangerous conditions and significant disruption on Friday
“Southwesterly then westerly winds will rapidly increase from west to east Friday mid-morning onwards into the afternoon, with peak gusts of 80-90 mph fairly widely and perhaps up to 100 mph along exposed western coasts. This brings the risk of significant disruption to transport and power supplies as well as dangerous conditions outdoors. Winds will gradually ease through Friday evening.”
