[email protected] Storm Amy: 184,000 homes without electrical power. Stoirm Amy: 184,000 áitreabh gan cumhacht leictreach. A man was seriously injured in an accident in Co. Donegal today which was caused by severe weather, Gardaí say. Gortaíodh fear go dona i dtimpiste i gCo Dhún na nGall inniu arbh í an aimsir gharbh ba shiocair leis, a deir na Gardaí. The accident happened in Letterkenny at around 4.15pm. Tharla an tionóisc i Leitir Ceanainn ag thart ar 4.15 tráthnóna. As Storm Amy makes its way across the country, it is reported that approximately 184,000 properties are currently without electrical power. Agus Stoirm Amy ag déanamh a díchill ar fud na tíre, tuairiscítear go bhfuil thart ar 184,000 áitreabh gan cumhacht leictreach faoi láthair. Meteorologists have announced seven different weather warnings – from yellow to red – in various parts of the country. Tá seacht bhfoláireamh éagsúla aimsire fógartha ag na meitéareolaithe – ó bhuí go dearg – in áiteanna éagsúla sa tír. The most serious of these is the red sea warning that has been issued between 2pm and 8pm this evening from Head of Limerick in Co Clare to Head of Roscommon in Co Donegal to Benmore in Co Antrim. Is tromchúisí dar ndóigh an foláireamh dearg mara atá fógartha idir 2 a chlog agus 8 a chlog tráthnóna inniu ó Cheann Léime i gCo an Chláir go Ceann Ros Eoghain i gCo Dhún na nGall go dtí an Bhinn Mhór i gCo Aontroma. In fact, the weather is most severe along the coastline between Galway and Donegal, with winds reaching up to 120 kilometres per hour, although almost every part of the country has received its share of the storm. Go deimhin, is feadh an imeallbhoird idir Gaillimh agus Dún na nGall is gairbhe atá an aimsir, mar a bhfuil suas le 120 ciliméadar san uair faoin ngaoth, siúd is go bhfuil mórán gach áit sa tíre tar éis a cion féin den tuargaint a fháil. Met Éireann says the wind gusts are above average and are likely to cause power outages in more places, down trees and cause sea waves to hit shores. Deir Met Éireann go bhfuil neart os meán sa stangadh gaoithe agus gur dóichí go ngearrfar an chumhacht i dtuilleadh áiteanna, go leagfar crainn agus go dtonnfaidh an fharraige isteach ar chladaí dá bhíthin. Since the timely announcement, people in the most remote places have been protecting themselves since yesterday against what is inevitable. Ó tugadh fógra go tráthúil, tá daoine in áiteanna is sceirdiúla á ndíonadh féin ó inné ar an rud nach bhfuil inseachanta. For example, sandbags have been pressed tightly against doorways in Donegal and Sligo to prevent water from leaking into homes and shops, especially in areas where the public has bought in. Cuir i gcás, tá málaí gainimh brúite isteach go dlúth le doirse i nDún na nGall agus i Sligeach ar fhaitíos go sceithfeadh uisce isteach i dtithe agus i siopaí, go háirithe i gceantair a bhfuil ciall cheannaithe ag an bpobal. People are also being urged to use common sense and stay home rather than risking danger and defying the quarantine without good reason. Táthar ag achainí ar dhaoine gnáthchiall a bheith acu freisin agus fanacht sa bhaile seachas dul i nguais agus dúshlán na síne a thabhairt gan údar maith. People must be alert to downed power lines, says the Electricity Supply Board, and not touch or touch them. Ní mór do dhaoine a bheith san airdeall ar shreanga cumhachta atá tite, a deir Bord Soláthair an Leictreachais, agus gan drannadh leo ná lámh a leagan orthu. The company says its technicians are trained and on standby to carry out repair work as soon as possible, if necessary. Deir an comhlacht go bhfuil a gcuid teicneoirí innealta agus ar fuireachas le hobair dheisiúcháin a dhéanamh a thúisce is féidir, más gá. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ
