Dublin: Storm Eowyn has really made a mess of things. A lamppost fell right onto a house in Ringsend overnight. Can you believe it?

The Dublin City Council’s Crisis Management Team has been super busy. They met again this morning, trying to handle all the storm-related issues popping up around the city.

By 11 AM, the Dublin Fire Brigade had already responded to 35 calls about the storm. That’s a lot! They’ve been dealing with fallen trees, damaged cars, and blocked roads.

It’s not just the lamppost; there have been 77 calls about trees down and 17 structures affected. It’s a real headache for everyone.

A spokesperson from the council urged folks to stay cautious during this Orange Warning period. Safety first, right?

Since 8 AM today, the Customer Services team has taken 72 calls. They’re quick too, answering emergency calls in about 26 seconds on average.

Tomorrow morning, they’ll check if it’s safe to reopen services. For now, everything’s closed to the public.
