Fears are growing for a missing 14-year-old girl last seen in a red weather alert area before Storm Eowyn hit. 

Police are searching for Chloe Ellis, from Livingston, Scotland, who has not been seen since Thursday January 23. 

The last reported sighting of Chloe was at around 8.25am that day, in the Deans area of the West Lothian town.

She is described as 5ft 5ins with long brown hair, and was wearing a black leather jacket. 

An urgent appeal for information has been launched due to concern for her welfare, Edinburgh Live reported. 

There have been no reports of contact from the 14-year-old amid the high winds and inclement weather, with Livingston covered by the Met Office red weather warning.

Police Sergeant John Watson said: ‘We are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of Chloe and would ask if anyone who knows her whereabouts to get in contact with us.

‘She is known to frequent Glasgow, Edinburgh, Livingston and Bathgate. She may have travelled to the Dunbar area.’

Anyone with any information about Chloe is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0949 of 23 January, 2025.

Storm Eowyn’s first confirmed victim was Kacper Dudek, 20. 

He was killed in County Donegal, Republic of Ireland, in the early hours of Friday morning after the record-breaking high winds blew a tree down on to his car.  

He had already performed a U-turn and was trying to flee a danger area when the horrifying accident happened as he was on the phone to his father. 

The 20-year-old was driving in convoy with a friend after being let out early from their night shifts when he had to turn his car around, after coming across a road accident, the Mirror reported. 

Police and local emergency services attended the scene after the tree fell on the car at around 5.30am in Feddyglass, Raphoe, County Donegal, in the north-west of the Republic.

Mr Dudek, who was born in Poland but raised in nearby Lifford, Donegal, died at the scene.

Tributes on social media called Mr Dudek a ‘lovely decent young fella’ who was ‘trying to make a life for himself’.
