Storm Amy has brought heavy rain and strong winds to large parts of the UK - leaving thousands of homes without power across Scotland and Northern Ireland. A yellow warning for winds was in place for the rest of the UK throughout most of Saturday. Many railway lines and roads were closed and ferry services were disrupted amid high winds with gusts of more than 100mph recorded in some exposed areas. A man in his 40s died in the Republic of Ireland on Friday afternoon in what police described as a "weather-related incident".
