ROUGH CUT. NO REPORTER NARRATION. Two people died as Tropical Storm Ophelia battered Ireland's southern coast on Monday (October 16), knocking down trees and power lines and whipping up 10-metre (30-foot) waves. Over 230,000 homes and businesses were without electricity with more outages expected and almost 150 flights from Ireland's two main airports at Dublin and Shannon were cancelled. A woman in her 50s was killed by a tree falling on her car in the southeastern county of Waterford, police said. A man in his 30s died while trying to clear a fallen tree in an incident involving a chainsaw. In Cork, eyewitnesses recorded crashing waves, fallen trees and even part of Cork City Football Club's stadium roof collapsing. The storm, downgraded from a hurricane overnight, was the worst to hit Ireland in half a century. It made landfall after 10:40 a.m. (0940 GMT), the Irish National Meteorological Service said, with winds as strong as 176 kph (110 mph) hitting the most southerly tip of the country.
