You do see the odd pop-up of how people lost some fences or similar.
The article on the BBC was this.
It is what we Brits call "A little breezy".
Though, in Seamus' defense, it affected the Dutchies and those along the coast far worse.

I was a bit disappointed. I live in a city but I still expected more than two strong breezes.
Yes, some areas were affected more, some trains stopped and so on, but in the end it was a relatively normal strong storm, the kind we get once in a while and it's not the end of the world. As for the victims, tragic, but maybe if you account for people who didn't die in normal everyday traffic accidents because some people stayed at home due to the storm warnings, it may even out again.![]()

Fortunately this time the mediastorm was bigger than the windstorm.
Well, Russia got hit hard.
16 deaths (if I heard it correctly, could have been 6) and 11,000 people were left without electricity.
So The Happening is happening?
In Sweden, a very unlucky moose got killed by, like, the only tree to fall in the vicinity...
As long as that tops the news...

Four deaths in the UK - that's pretty bad by our standards - largely the fault of Highways not felling old trees, though.

I found the wind pretty annoying. I have this one window without something that can keep it shut so I usually keep it shut with a 'leitz folder'(Not sure what this is called in other countries; Basically something to collect papers in). This time it didn't keep the window shut so I had to barricade the window with 2 stacks of books.
The greater annoyance was the thunder around 1-2 am that was really loud.

The power went out for 2 minutes! :D Exciting stuff for Europe XD
We had a few knocked over trees, a road blocked here and there but I don't think it was very severe. The only funny thing was the power going out, which caused all the house alarms to go off at the same time around this area.
