Authorities across northern Europe are urging vigilance as the region braces for heavy rain and gale-force winds from the east as a severe storm continues to sweep across
Authorities across northern Europe urged vigilance Friday as the region braced for heavy rain and gale-force winds from the east as a severe storm continued to sweep through. The gale-force winds are expected to hit hardest in the eastern part of Denmark's Jutland peninsula and the Danish islands in the Baltic Sea. But the British Isles, southern Sweden, northern Germany and parts of Norway are also on the path of the storm, named Babet by U.K.’s weather forecaster, the Met Office.
It likely could bring more than a month’s worth of rain in the worst-affected regions in Scotland, where hundreds of people were evacuated from their homes and schools closed on Thursday. Police in southern Denmark — the Danish region expected to be the worst hit — said that a number of road sections in the low-lying areas were flooded and a few trees have also fallen.
