Europe Gets Mugged
The BBC reports on weather: European storm and tidal surge cause evacuations and travel chaos.
Just a winter storm with winds up to 142mph [228kph] in Scotland, the surge gates on the Thames, and in the Netherlands were closed to reduce flooding from the wind-driven tidal surge. Trucks blown off roads, trees uprooted, thousands in the dark — just a winter storm.
Not much different than a major hurricane … except it is cold to make people even more miserable.
