Storm Bram: Donegal was last county under Status Orange Wind Warning

Donegal was the final county to plunge into the Orange Wind Warning and the last county to come out of it during Storm Bram. 

The county had an Orange Wind Warning, effective from 2 pm until 9 pm, alongside a Red Marine Warning during the weather event. 

Storm Bram swept across the county on Tuesday, leading to business and school closures. The Donegal Town Pier Car Park had to close due to high tides and possible storm surges. 

All flights from Donegal Airport were cancelled and are expected to remain disrupted until Wednesday. 

There are still approximately 160 customers affected by power outages, with the worst-affected areas being Bundoran, Moville and Stranorlar.
