At least 4 fatalities reported following storm in northern Europe.

A powerful storm system has hit northern Europe, resulting in at least four deaths and widespread disruptions since its onset on November 17, 2025. The storm brought heavy rainfall, strong winds, and significant flooding to the region.

In Germany, a tragic incident occurred when a 33-year-old woman was killed by a falling tree on the Baltic Sea island of Fehmarn. Coastal areas experienced severe flooding, with water levels rising over two meters in some regions. Several cities faced power outages, while transportation services, including ferry lines and railways, were temporarily suspended.

Denmark was similarly affected, with gale-force winds and rising water levels leading to evacuations in heavily impacted areas. The municipality of Haderslev ordered the evacuation of its coastline due to the storm’s dangerous conditions. Additionally, Copenhagen’s airport canceled 142 flights, but operations resumed the following day.

Scotland also faced adverse weather, particularly around the town of Brechin, where heavy rainfall caused the River South Esk to breach its banks. Residents were evacuated as flooding worsened, and the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency warned of the potential for further flooding, advising locals to stay vigilant.

The storm’s impact spread across northern Europe, causing extensive damage and prompting emergency response efforts. Authorities are working to assess the full extent of the destruction and restore normalcy in the affected regions. As recovery efforts continue, communities are left to grapple with the aftermath of this severe weather event.
