Storm Isha Northern Ireland: Next storm named after Jocelyn Bell Burnell while roads and electricity disrupted after woman struck by debris in Belfast - Belfast Telegraph

Storm Jocelyn named after NI astrophysicist 

Storm Jocelyn, which arrives on Tuesday evening, has been named after Northern Ireland astrophysicist Professor Jocelyn Bell Burnell. 
She discovered  the first pulsating radio stars in 1967 and is from Co Armagh. 
The storm is set to last until Wednesday, with warnings of further strong winds and potentially damaging gusts. 
When it was announced last year the storm would be named after her, Professor Bell Burnell said:  

“I am delighted to feature in this distinguished list celebrating science and hope that if a potential Storm Jocelyn happens, it may be a useful stirring-up rather than a destructive event.

“Science advancements increase our knowledge and understanding of the world around us, and I think this is wonderful example of science-based services communications.” 
The name of the storm was chosen by Met Éireann.
