People struggled with the winds in The Hague, Netherlands this week as the worst storm in years swept through. |
The storm was said to be the worst to strike Germany in 11 years. Train service was badly disrupted by trees falling on rail lines.
In the Netherlands, winds clocked as high as 90 mph sheared roofs from buildings, knocked over trucks on highways, pushed over stacks of containers at the port of Rotterdam and flung pedestrians across plazas in that city.
Insurers are already estimating about $110 million in damage in just the Netherlands from the storm.
