Storm Eunice continues on its way. This Saturday, February 19, it is sweeping northwestern Europe, with strong gusts expected on the German coasts. This storm, formed in Ireland, killed at least 13 people. It also leaves behind significant damage.
A jumbo jet seems suspended in mid-flight. The wind is too strong, it is impossible for the A-380 to move forward or even land on the runways of Heathrow airport in London (United Kingdom). The four-engine will have to do it three times before it succeeds in landing. Wind gusts reached up to 200 km/h in some places. The roof of a theater was even torn under the power of the wind.
The damage is impressive, as in Belgium, where part of a crane flew away before crashing into the top two floors of a hospital in Tournay. The storm continued to hit through the night of February 18, causing extensive damage in Germany. In the Netherlands, it’s a sandstorm on the beach, where some take a walk near the sea. It’s the country most damaged, with 4 dead by the storm Eunice. In Europe, at least 13 people have been killed.
