New Delhi, Oct. 26 -- The Met Office, the U.K.'s national forecaster, warned that Storm Boelo would bring a danger to life from flying debris and crashing waves and said people should stay indoors as much as possible.

The agency said wind gusts peaked at 84 mph (135 kph) in Argyll and Bute in Scotland.

An amber wind warning, the Met Office's second most severe, is active across Scotland and the north of England until late Sunday. Flood warnings are also in place, while airports, ferries, railways and roads have seen disruptions. Power outages have affected some 82,000 homes.

Boelo, pronounced "Boo-Loh", has followed hard on the heels of Storm Austen, which battered southern England, in particular, on Friday.
