A MAJOR UK supermarket has issued an update after closing 50 branches due to Storm Eowyn. Morrisons shuttered the Scottish stores yesterday after the Met Office issued a red weather warning. But in a post on X, formerly Twitter, this morning, Morrisons said the branches had reopened.

It said: "All of our stores in Scotland are now open following the bad weather caused by Storm Eowyn - just in time to get ready for your Burns Night celebrations.". It comes after Scottish households were urged to stay indoors following a rare red weather warning from the Met Office.
Tens of thousands are still without power in parts of the UK, with one man killed in Ireland after a tree fell on his car. Alongside the supermarket closures, trains were cancelled and flights grounded. This is the full list of Morrisons stores that closed and have reopened:.
It's not just Morrisons that was forced to close supermarkets due to the adverse weather conditions. M&S also told shoppers it would close all 62 of its stores in Scotland and Ireland and Waterstones said its Edinburgh branches would shut. Virgin Money also directed customers to its store finder tool so they could see if their local bank branch was open.
As of yesterday, Virgin Money said it expected its branches to be back to normal opening hours today. Sainsbury's closed all its branches across Scotland and Northern Ireland yesterday. Stores in Scotland shut from 7am to 6pm and those in Northern Ireland closed from 7am to 3pm.
