SEVERE DAMAGE AFTER STORM
Amsterdam, Netherlands - The remarkably early winter storm that's been battering most of Northern Europe Friday has calmed down in most parts, and the extensive damage it did to the infrastructure in our country is only just beginning to show, government officials said this morning.
The damage is severe throughout the nation. Train services to the East have been cancelled due to severe snow fall as weather stations in Arnhem and Eindhoven reported 40 centimeters within the first hours of the storm.
With the storm hitting full force only later in the day on Friday; most people were already at work and the evening rush hour created a situation of total chaos that paralised the nation as traffic jams with a total length of 802 kilometers chocked virtually all the highways in the country. Authorities quickly made sure necessary means reached those stuck in their cars; food, water and blankets were handed out to people, some of whom had not driven an inch in over eleven hours.
There are no reported casualties as yet, and the restoration works have begun early today as the storm moved on. But the provincial government of Zeeland in the South West has reported that some islands can still not be reached as bridges have collapsed or at least been severely damaged due to hurricane winds and pounding seas. Extra ferry services are being used to make up for the total destruction of road- and railways, as well as airports.
