An Atlantic storm by the name of Storm Eunice has claimed the lives of at least 8 people as winds of up to 196km ripped through most of Northwestern Europe in the past days.

Amongst other unfortunate casualties, three people in the Netherlands were killed by toppling trees whilst a woman was killed in London when a tree collapsed onto her car. Venues such as London’s O2 arena also registered significant damages after the wind shredded its domed roof. Together with similar establishments such as Printworks London, performers scheduled for shows at the O2 had to postpone to ensure the safety of their fans and clients.

A Met Office spokesperson highlighted that the storm’s fiercest winds were heading to Scandinavia and northern mainland Europe, where further warnings have been issued.
