Boelo paralyzes Great Britain. Chaos at airports and railways, events canceled

A yellow wind alert was issued for northern England, including Manchester and Newcastle, as well as parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Passengers at airports in Belfast, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Manchester faced delays and cancellations. Ferry services were suspended, and ScotRail halted train operations in Ayr and Kilmarnock due to flooding. Flood warnings were in effect in 40 areas, including Cumbria and Bolton. Many events across the UK were canceled, including the 'River of Light' festival in Liverpool and Halloween celebrations in Scotland and Northern Ireland. A forecast indicated that the yellow alert would escalate to orange in Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland, with further disruptions expected on the railways. Thousands of households remained without power after the storm.
