9 dead as 'Hurricane Emma' strikes Europe

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=920_1204402048

That's the website the Nazis in California shut down the other day.

"Hurricane Emma Kills 9 In Central Europe.
At least nine people have lost their lives in Austria, Germany and the
Czech Republic as Hurricane Emma struck central Europe.

One of Germany's high speed trains was taken out of action and several
rail lines were closed as winds reached 190 kilometres an hour. Three
people died in Germany.

In some areas, heavy rainfall caused flooding as well.

In Austria the death toll reached four, including two German tourists,
with at least two of the people killed by trees blown down by high
winds.

Some 10,000 households in the north of the country have been left
without electricity.

Skiers in the Alps were warned to take extra care after a metre of
snow fell and a Bundesliga football match was cancelled.

Across the countries hit by Emma, the damage is estimated to be worth
tens of millions of euros. Weather experts say winds are likely to
pick up again on Sunday morning.

In the Czech Republic, two people died - an 11-year-old girl who was
crushed by a falling tree and a man, 80, who was hit by a piece of
metal. Around 100,000 people are without electricity and transport has
been disrupted throughout the country."

Glad to see they couldn't touch the European servers. This is a site
the Nazis took over as they invaded Iraq:

"Passengers on the West Coast railway line have been hit by severe
delays after containers from two freight trains fell onto tracks in
high winds.

The winds, which battered much of England overnight, left freight on
the tracks at Shap in Cumbria.

Network Rail said services around Shap would not resume until at least
Monday.

The line between Tring and Bletchley, where more freight landed on the
track, was due to reopen but delays were expected for several hours."

Posted 1st March but I don't know if it was from the same weather:

Another video froze on me loading, so I didn't post that link.

A320 max x-wind speeds are 33 kts gusts 38 kts, and Hamburg weather
was
EDDH 011220Z 29028G48KT 9000 -SHRA FEW011 BKN014 07/05 Q0984 TEMPO
29035G55KT 4000 SHRA BKN008

For non-pilots winds were from a magnetic heading of 290 28 kts
gusting to 48 kts for Rwy 23. Pilot finally landed on EDDH's
perpendicular Rwy 33 and he should be more proficient with a forward
slip and rudder control.

And spare underpants.
