1/18 Storm Wreaks Havoc in Northern Europe(from Germany)







【English Edition】

Storm Wreaks Havoc in Northern Europe

With its hurricane-force winds, the storm Germany meteorologists dubbed"Kyrill" is leaving a trail of destruction in its wake as it travels across Northern and Central Europe. Twelve have been killed so far, but there have been no estimates of the total damage.

The fierce North Sea storm "Kyrill," with hurricane-force winds of up to 191kph (118 mph), roared through Germany on Thursday, as schools and businesses closed so that childrens and workers could seek safety in their homes. The storm even forced United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to cut short a visit to Berlin -- where she was meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel -- in order to fly to London before the winds grew too strong.

The powerful storm had already wrecked havoc in the Netherlands, France and Britain, and by early evening on Thursday, at least 12 people had been killed in storm-related incidents.

暴風造成歐洲北部的大破壞
帶著颶風般強度的風勁,德國的暴風氣象學家將之取名為「kyrill」,它的移動路線在歐洲北部與歐洲中央留下毀滅的痕跡。到目前為止已經有12個人遇害且總損失尚無法估計。
兇猛的北海暴風「kyrill」,其颶風般的風速高達每小時191公里(每小時118哩)於星期四(1/18)怒吼般地呼嘯過德國,造成許多學校與公司停止上班上課,使孩童與上班族得已安全地待在家中。暴風甚至迫使美國國務卿 Condoleezza Rice 縮減訪問柏林的行程,飛抵倫敦以免暴風成長得過於強大--當時她正拜會德國首相Angela Merkel 。
威力強大的暴風已經對荷蘭、法國與英國造成巨大的破壞,而且截至星期四晚間稍早為止,已經有12人於暴風造成的相關意外中喪生。
