Europe is involved in the “Eleanor”

The Elenor winter storm has swept most of northern Europe, including France and Germany, as it earlier crashed into Great Britain, leaving tens of thousands of homes without electricity, causing problems in circulation.

9 people were injured as a result of the storm in France, where winds were recorded up to 110 miles [110 km] per hour. The fall of a tree in Holland caused a wound.

Eleanor is the fifth storm of the season. In northern France over 200,000 homes were left without electricity. The storm is now moving towards other regions, including Corsica, where winds are expected to reach speeds of 200km per hour. In the capital Paris and east of the country, there were problems in air circulation.

The Eiffel Tower was shut down because of strong winds, and even the city parks will not be accessible until the storm is tamed due to concerns about falling trees.

In Germany, the storm has swept through most of the country. Winds passed the speed of 120km an hour in the West, leading to transport paralysis.
Switzerland, where more than 14,000 homes are in the dark, has also been affected, and Austria, where in many areas the risk of avalanches is expected to rise to level 4.

Belgium activated the orange alarm with authorities calling on citizens to be cautious of flying objects. In the Netherlands, more than 200 flights were canceled at Amsterdam's Shipole Airport, while many of the main roads and railway lines were closed.
