Yesterday's bad weather comes just seven weeks after Storm Darragh caused similar widespread damage.

From 7-8 December 2024, severe gales and storm force winds saw more than 200 trees brought down, closing a number of roads around the Island.

Infrastructure Minister Dr Michelle Haywood says the clean-up from Darragh had 'only just' finished when Éowyn hit:

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture has announced that all glens and plantations on the Isle of Man will remain closed over the weekend.
