Storm Ciaran, which developed in the Atlantic Ocean, struck Western Europe on the 2nd local time, causing damage in many countries.
In the Aine region in northern France, a tree that fell due to strong winds hit a truck, killing the driver, and in Belgium, at least six people were killed, including at least two people, including a 5-year-old child, who were crushed to death by a tree.
Strong winds caused trees to fall on power lines and steel towers, cutting off electricity supply to 1.2 million households, including 780,000 in Brittany, France, and disrupting train and aircraft operations.
At Schiphol International Airport in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Europe’s largest hub airport, more than 200 flights a day were canceled.
In the UK, warnings have been issued that flooding could occur along the southern coast.
