Forecasters have warned more storms are on the way after the devastation caused by Storm Malik as 100mph winds battered parts of the UK.
Tragically a nine-year-old boy and a 60-year-old woman lost their lives as trees were torn down in dangerous gusts.
And a man is being treated in hospital as a result of the incident which killed the schoolboy.
Meanwhile thousands of homes were left without power, with some in Scotland warned electricity may not be restored until tomorrow.
Staffordshire Police said a man is in hospital after the incident which killed the boy.
Police were called to Hollington Road, Winnothdale, near to Tean, at 1pm on Saturday after reports that a tree had fallen on a boy and a man, and they were both taken to the Royal Stoke University Hospital.
A spokesman said: "Sadly, despite the best efforts of medical staff, a nine-year-old boy passed away.
"The boy's family are being supported by specially-trained officers. The man remains in hospital.
"A scene remains at the location, where people are asked to avoid the area. The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner."
The boy's death comes after a 60-year-old woman was killed by a falling tree in Aberdeen as strong winds from Storm Malik battered northern parts of the UK.
Police Scotland said that emergency services were called to Deveron Road in Aberdeen on Saturday at around 10.30am to reports of a sudden death of a 60-year-old woman.
A spokesman said: "There are no suspicious circumstances. A report will now be sent to the Procurator Fiscal."
Winds of more than 100mph have been reported in parts of Scotland, with widespread disruption to travel and power supplies.
Weather warnings were in place across all of Scotland, northern England and parts of Northern Ireland for most of Saturday due to the high winds and rain.
The Met Office have said that another blast of severe strong winds, now officially named Storm Corrie, is set to hit parts of the UK.
It is set to move eastwards across Scotland on Sunday and push across the North Sea in the early hours of Monday.
The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for wind across northern parts of Scotland from Sunday into Monday morning.
Chief meteorologist Dan Suri said: "Storm Corrie will bring very strong winds to the north of the UK, especially northern Scotland, on Sunday. This follows just one day after Storm Malik moves though also bringing a spell of very strong winds.
"Storm Corrie will bring gusts of up to 90mph in exposed coastal locations in northern Scotland, with 70-80mph gusts more widely in the north."
Ms Sturgeon chaired a Scottish Government resilience meeting on Saturday as winds of more than 100mph were recorded.
On Twitter, Ms Sturgeon said the impact of Storm Malik had been "severe", but that Storm Corrie - due to hit from Sunday afternoon - "may be more severe for parts of Scotland".
"Unfortunately as £Malik subsides, Storm £Corrie is about to hit from late tomorrow afternoon & may be more severe for parts of Scotland - eg Highlands, Grampian, Tayside than anticipated," she said.

And after the storms on Friday next week, far-reaching parts of northern England and a small area of Wales could see snow, WXCharts maps show.
That icy-cold feel will continue towards around midday, with the freezing temperature lows spreading southwards towards North West England before the mercury edges up slightly heading into late afternoon.
But this polar freeze could also bring snow with it, as the maps show a high risk of snow throughout large parts of the UK on Friday morning, Express.co.uk reports.
There is forecast to be a 95 per cent risk of snow in a large region of Scotland at around 6am.
But England is unlikely to escape the onslaught, with more than a 70 per cent chance of snow in an area of North West England, as well as Wales.
There is also around a 30 per cent risk of snow covering the Midland and South East England.
Brian Gaze from the Weather Outlook told Express.co.uk: "During next week high pressure looks like being centred further southwest than it has been recently.
"That will lead to more changeable and at times windy weather, particularly in the northern half of the UK.
"Pulses of polar maritime air from the northwest could bring brief colder interludes, with showers turning wintry in the north and over the Welsh mountains.
"However, for snow lovers in the south the prospects continue to look disappointing in what to date has been yet another mild winter."
