Thousands of homes in south-west England were without power and schools were closed as Storm Austen reached UK shores, The Guardian reported. The outlet described Storm Austen as the "first named storm of the year" to hit the country.
The Guardian also said severe conditions reached parts of the south-west, with a gust of 76mph recorded at St Mary's Airport on the Isles of Scilly. Dozens of schools in Cornwall were also affected, according to the outlet, but its summary does not say how. The summary breaks off before stating when that wind reading was taken.
BBC News reported that thousands of people were without power and that travel was disrupted as Storm Austen hit southern UK. Its headline and summary do not give a count of affected homes or describe the travel disruption in detail.
The two reports differ on the storm that follows. The Guardian said another storm was heading for Scotland, Northern Ireland and the north of England, but its summary does not name it. BBC News said Storm Boelo was forecast on Saturday to bring "strong winds and heavy rain" to Scotland and parts of northern England, and its summary does not mention Northern Ireland.
The available summaries for both reports are incomplete, so this account is limited to what their headlines and summaries state. Neither gives a count of the homes or schools affected, and no further details on the outages, school closures or the forecast second storm were available for this story.
