  1. Storm Éowyn had a significant impact, particularly in Connemara and the Midlands of Ireland. Where the storm left widespread devastation, with over 130 power outages still being recorded two weeks later by ESB Networks, despite thousands of outages being fixed in that time.

    The outages peaked at over 2000 outages impacting 768000 customers.

    Data pulled from: [ESB Networks | Power Check | Service Interruptions Map](https://powercheck.esbnetworks.ie/)

    JSON data parsed with Python.

    Loaded into a PostgreSQL database with PostGIS for further processing.
