Default Netherlands - severe disruption by storm

Force 10 storm in the west of the Netherlands today - the worst since
27 October 2002.

Amsterdam Schiphol http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/EHAM.html

The National Crisis Centre of the Ministry of the Interior is urging
people to stay indoors because of the danger from falling roof tiles
and tree branches and other blowing debris.

Most Dutch trains are at a standstill this evening because of tracks
blocked by trees. Emergency accommodation is being prepared at
Utrecht station for people who cannot get home.

Earlier in the day Amsterdam Central station was evacuated because part
of the glass roof was blown down. Near Venlo in the SE of the country
a train driver was slightly hurt when his train hit a fallen tree.
Delft station also had to be evacuated because of damage to its roof.

2 people were killed near Arnhem when a tree fell on their car; a
motorcyclist was also killed by a falling tree. 6 people were injured
in a bus that was blown off the road in Tholen in the SW of the
country. A number of motorways had to be closed because of accidents
involving lorries.

In Utrecht 6 people were injured when a crane fell on to a university
building.
