Crossing the Friedrich storm in Europe has caused chaos. With winds gaining speed of 200 km per hour, 12 persons, of whom eight in Germany, lost their lives while the trees were uprooted, trucks were taken out of the street, and hundreds of flights were canceled.
In North Rhino-Westpholia, Germany, 41 people were injured in weather-related traffic accidents. After Germany, where the work of cleaning and converting has already begun, the storm moved toward Poland, where it caused two injuries and left tens of thousands without electricity.
In the hardest hit area, in southern Poland, the wind reached a speed of 60 miles [100 km] an hour, and snow covered roads, causing many traffic accidents. The storm also caused the capital city of Warsaw to be covered by snow and faced with strong wind, leading to traffic paralysis.
Driveers in Scotland, meanwhile, were asked to avoid travel only if they were absolutely necessary as strong wind and snowfall hit Great Britain, causing chaos in transport. Dozens of schools remained closed, and public transportation was almost paralyzed.
