As we've been reporting, Storm Isha led to dozens of flights to the UK being cancelled yesterday, with many more diverted mid-air into alternative airports inside and outside the country.

Amy Greenaway was among the passengers impacted. She was supposed to be on a flight to Birmingham from Geneva, Switzerland - but this was cancelled.

Speaking to the BBC, she describes the immense confusion at Geneva Airport last night.

Amy says several flights to different parts of the UK were initially displayed as delayed but soon they were all grounded. "There were at least seven flights cancelled at the same time," she says, detailing "lots of baggage stacked up, lots of people, a bit of nightmare."

There was "carnage" at the airport, she recalls, with everyone scrambling to find hotels nearby that could be covered by their airline.

She has now been scheduled for an alternative flight home, 24 hours after the initial plan for departure.

Catherine Connolly was with her boyfriend Brendan O’Callaghan on a flight from Amsterdam to Belfast last night, which attempted landing three times.

Usually not a nervous flyer, the 26-year-old told BBC Newsbeat she found the experience frightening.

“We just felt the plane go up,” she said. “But this time was quite scary, because you could hear the engines roaring.

“And that was when you started to hear people screaming.”

Luckily, the plane eventually managed to get to ground safely.

“It was still very rocky, but we managed to land. The whole plane clapped, sort of unironically.”

Getting off the plane and going through passport control, she said that everyone looked “quite shocked”.

“There was a guy standing behind us and his hands were just shaking.

“It was a bit unbelievable. [Everyone] was full of adrenaline.”

Earlier, we reported that ScotRail said it expected services to gradually reopen between late morning and early afternoon. However, its latest update indicates that it's still unsure when services will fully resume.

Posting on social media platform X, external, the operator said it was responding to the large number of messages asking for an update on when lines would reopen.

"The simple as answer is we do not know," the update said. "Safety checks take time to complete and it's not possible to check every line at once. If repairs are required, then it will take a bit longer."

Some lines have already reopened and a limited service is operating in some areas.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has expressed for sympathies with everyone affected by Storm Isha, saying his "thoughts are with all those who've been affected by the storm over the past day or so".

Speaking at the National Film and Television School, Sunak thanked all the emergency responders "who have been working incredibly hard to support people."

He has urged everyone to continue to monitor travel advice as road, rail and air disruption continue to cause chaos across the country.

Hundreds of thousands of homes have lost power due to the storm, and Sunak says the authorities are working hard to get people's power restored as quickly as possible.

The Met Office's warnings related to Isha have lifted, but more have been issued for tomorrow ahead of newly-named Storm Jocelyn.

Here's an at-a-glance summary of the latest impacts:

Deaths in Northern Ireland and Scotland

• Two people have died after their cars hit trees brought down across the UK by Storm Isha: a man in County Londonderry and another in Grangemouth

Power cuts

• Thousands of people who lost power have now been reconnected - but treacherous conditions mean it is taking longer for others
• In Scotland, of the almost 89,000 customers whose power was cut, 14,800 customers remain offline
• In north-west England, 8,500 customers are still without power and in Northern Ireland, around half of the 53,000 customers who had lost supply have had their power restored

Rail services

• Travel remains delayed and disrupted for many as Network Rail inspects routes across the country for safety issues
• ScotRail’s customer operations director said Scotland's services were expected to reopen gradually throughout early afternoon
• Network Rail says a good service is expected in most areas of England and Wales after fallen trees and debris were cleared
• In Northern Ireland, falling debris has also disrupted travel, including a tree that fell on the Lisburn train line, leaving some journeys cancelled, delayed or revised

Air travel

• The storm led to flight delays and cancellations at airports around the UK. In Northern Ireland, there were reports of people being stranded for 10 hours
• While things appear to have returned to normal for Northern Ireland's airports, flights to airports across the UK could suffer knock-on delays after last night's diversions
• Among those affected, an easyJet flight from Edinburgh to Bristol was made to land in Paris and a Ryanair flight from Manchester to Dublin was diverted to a small town in northern France

A man has died after a tree fell on his car in County Londonderry.

The BBC has been told the man was driving along Broad Road in Limavady last night.

The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service says it received an emergency call about the incident at about 21:45 GMT.

It is the second death related to Storm Isha, after a man in Scotland also died when his car crashed into a tree yesterday evening.

Isha has caused widespread disruption across Northern Ireland, with winds reaching 80 mph (129 km/h) in some places.

Storm Isha was so powerful it brought down a brick wall and pushed a car down the road in south east London overnight.

"Luckily there was no damage to her car and no other damage," Kidbrooke resident John McGlone, whose camera captured the moment, told the BBC.

Watch his CCTV footage below:

Power is slowly being restored across the areas worst affected by Storm Isha, but treacherous conditions are making it slow going.

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, servicing northern Scotland, has restored power to 32,000 customers while 2,800 properties remain offline.

Scottish Power Energy Networks, which covers southern and central Scotland, says almost 54,000 of its customers were affected, and almost 12,000 are still without power.

A spokesperson says continued strong winds are making it unsafe for its crews to work at height to fix power lines.

8,500 customers are still without power in north-west England, where a spokesperson for Electricity North West says the conditions "are some of the worst we’ve seen in a long time".

Northern Ireland Electricity Networks says it has restored power to around half of the 53,000 customers who had lost supply.

Jacqui Wellbrook, 68, from Otley in Yorkshire, had to wade through cold ankle-deep water at a railway underpass yesterday when the train she was travelling on ground to a halt due to flooding on the line.

During the seven-and-a-half hour trip home from Glasgow, where she spent the weekend, Jacqui said she noticed some of the older people struggling to walk through the flooded underpass in Hellifield, and so she helped them pull their luggage through the water.

"We waded through there and waited in the awful weather for a bus to arrive," she says.

"When we got home we literally rang our socks out, they were so wet."

We're getting some more detail on what we can expect from Storm Jocelyn, which is set to follow Storm Isha tomorrow.

The Met Office has just issued a severe amber wind warning, external for western and northern Scotland from 18:00 tomorrow.

Winds gusting around 60mph (96km/h) are likely, while exposed parts of the Western Isles and coastal northern Scotland could experience 80mph gusts.

Yellow warnings for rain are also in place covering almost all of central and northern England, Wales and Northern Ireland from tomorrow morning, with the Met Office predicting up to 60mm (two inches) could fall in the space of six hours in some areas.

It has been named by Irish Weather Service, Met Éireann, which has issued a Status Orange (Amber) warning for parts of Ireland.

They include Counties Donegal, Galway, and Mayo.

Yellow warnings have also been issued for Northern Ireland, Scotland, and parts of northern England from 16:00 on Tuesday.

A man from London spent the night sleeping underneath some chairs in a transfer terminal in France after his original flight - from Jersey to Gatwick - was diverted to Paris Charles de Gaulle.

He says the plane spent two hours on the runway tarmac in the Channel Island "before it was decided they were going to go for it".

But just as a landing was attempted at the London airport, the pilot announced a redirection to France - meaning the plane did not land in Paris until about 02:30 this morning.

He says passengers were reassured everyone would be rebooked onto new flights and get hotels, but this didn't happen for many as they did not have passports to leave airport to get a hotel.

Luke explains he does not have a passport with him as he had been making a domestic trip.

"I slept for about two hours last night underneath some chairs in the transfer terminal," he adds.

As we continue to report on the impact caused by Storm Isha, we've heard that a road in Huddersfield had to be closed after an alpaca barn was blown off.

"We had a call out to say there was an alpaca shed in the middle of the road," Kirklees Council in West Yorkshire confirmed to the BBC.

In a post, external on X (formerly known as Twitter), the council announced the closure of Carr Hill Road and commented: "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore!"

No images or video of damp and chilly alpacas, or their damaged home, has as yet emerged - but we'll be keeping an eye out.

As we've just reported, an 84-year-old man has died in a car crash in Grangemouth.

Police say the man was the front-seat passenger in a Hyundai that was travelling on the A905 Beancross Road at around 23:45 last night.

The vehicle hit a fallen tree and the man was declared dead at the scene. The other people in the car were not injured, police say.

The road was closed while investigations were carried out, and reopened at around 06:00 today.

Road policing inspector Andrew Thomson says: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died, and all those involved in the collision. We continue to offer them support as our inquiries progress."

Thomson adds that police would like to speak to anyone who saw what happened or was on the A905 around 11.45pm yesterday. He says he's requesting anyone with dashcam footage of Beancross Road around that time to review their footage, and bring anything of significance to the police's attention.

An 84-year-old man has died in Falkirk after a car in which he was a passenger crashed into a fallen tree in Grangemouth on Sunday, Police Scotland says.

Correction: An original version of this post said the crash happened in Fife, rather than Falkirk.

It's not just garden fences: unfortunately, a child's playhouse has fallen victim to Storm Isha.

This CCTV footage has captured the impact high winds have had on one woman's garden in Stroud, Gloucestershire:

Strong winds and heavy rain brought by Storm Isha have caused extensive damage across the country - not least to Britain's gardens.

If you, like many others, opened the curtains this morning to a view of your fence knocked down by a gust or fallen tree, it's a good idea to brush up on two key points:

First, who pays?

Where damage is caused to a fence between properties, it's important to establish whether it's you or your neighbour that needs to pay.

The boundaries of your garden can normally be found in the title deeds to your home. If not, then the general assumption is that they are shared, according to Laceys Solicitors.

If the damage to the fence was caused by a fallen tree from your neighbour's garden, you will not be able to make the claim against their insurance.

Instead, you would normally claim against your own policy and negotiate with your neighbour to pay the excess.

What storm damage is covered?

If it's you who's considered to be responsible, the next thing to check is insurance.

According to Compare the Market, most standard home insurance policies cover some level of storm damage - but (and it's a big but) fences, hedges and gates are not typically included.

This will vary between insurance providers, so check the wording of your policy carefully to ascertain what you can and cannot claim.

If your policy does cover fences, there is one last hurdle to clear.

Since insurers have an official definition for a storm, external, proving storm damage can be tricky business and providers might dispute your claim.

From flying sheds to smashed glass tables, we're receiving some dramatic video from Storm Isha sent to the newsroom.

Watch some of the most striking clips below:

Travel disruption and clean-up efforts are ongoing around the country, following a night of powerful winds and heavy rain:
