Cutting power to tens of thousands
Storm Eleanor barrels through Europe
Winter storm Eleanor swept into France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Paris - Egypt Today
Winter storm Eleanor swept into France, Belgium and the Netherlands on Wednesday after tearing through England and Northern Ireland, cutting power to tens of thousands of people and forcing airports and train services to halt operations.
A skier was killed by a falling tree at Morillon in the French Alps while 15 others have been injured by the storm across the country, four of them seriously, Civil Defence spokesman Michael Bernier told AFP.
Another person was hurt by a falling tree in the southern Dutch village of Heesch.
Heavy winds led the airports in Strasbourg and Basel-Mulhouse on France’s border with Germany and Switzerland to close before they were reopened shortly after midday.
At Paris’s Charles de Gaulle airport, 60 per cent of departures were delayed Wednesday morning, as were a third of arrivals, while a handful of flights had to be rerouted before the winds eased back a bit.
