A powerful storm has swept across parts of Europe, bringing with it strong winds, heavy rain and widespread destruction. Several countries were affected, including Germany, France, the Netherlands and the UK, and storm warnings were issued across the region. Wind speeds reached 150 km/h in some areas, causing traffic chaos, power outages and property damage. In Germany, the storm, dubbed “Storm Elias,” caused widespread destruction. Rail service was halted in several regions due to fallen trees and debris on the tracks, and hundreds of flights were canceled or delayed at major airports, including Frankfurt and Munich. Emergency services are working around the clock to clear roads and restore power in the affected areas. In some parts of the country, homes were evacuated due to the risk of flooding as rivers swelled after several days of heavy rain. The Netherlands was also hit hard by the storm. The Dutch Meteorological Institute has issued a red alert for coastal areas, warning of dangerous winds and the risk of flooding. Several dams and flood barriers were closed as a precautionary measure. In Amsterdam, public transportation was suspended, and the authorities urged residents not to go out until the worst of the storm had passed. In France, strong winds hit the northern coast, causing damage to buildings and infrastructure. The port of Calais was temporarily closed, and ferry service to the UK was suspended due to rough seas. In Brittany, thousands of homes have lost power, and local authorities have warned of further disruptions as the storm moves inland.
