The amount of damage mentioned can increase even further; the Association takes into account delays because so many phone calls and emails have come in. “The wind will continue to be strong in the coming days and further damage can be caused by loosened trees,” said a spokesperson.
Never before six stormy days
Today it is the sixth storm day in a row and according to Weerplaza, this has never happened before in the measurements. Five days in a row of stormy weather was the previous record, which dates back to 1979. The wind is blowing hard today, but it is expected to be a lot less violent than in recent days. The KNMI has issued a code yellow for the entire country.
The strong winds in recent days have caused trees, branches and roof tiles to be blown down across the country. In exceptional cases, the roof tore off entire blocks of houses, the renouncers say. The fatalities were hit by falling trees, or had collided with the road as a motorist due to storm damage.
The storms have also wreaked havoc outside the Netherlands. For example, Eunice claimed at least thirteen lives in Europe.
