at least 14 dead in northern Europe

The British coasts were battered by winds of unprecedented strength, up to 200 km / h. Inland, gusts overturned vehicles. In the UK, train stations and airports were largely disorganized, planes struggled to land properly. In Tournai, Belgium, a crane got stuck in the roof of a hospital. “There is no victim, none of the patients, none of the children in the nursery have been victims of anything”reassures the director of the Wallonia Picardy hospital center.

Huge damage was seen in the Netherlands, where storm Eunice turned on the coast into a sandstorm. The entire rail network has been affected, and clearing the tracks will take time. “Even though the wind is still blowing hard today, all of Northern Europe is starting to clean up debris, jails and fallen trees. This evening, the human toll has increased further with at least 14 deaths due to storm Eunice.reports Maylis Septembre, journalist at France Télévisions.
