There are no trains running in the Netherlands on Saturday morning because of the damage caused by storm Eunice, which swept over the country on Friday, killing four people. Most of the problems have been caused by blown down trees and damage to overhead cables, railway infrastructure group ProRail said, adding that it will be Saturday afternoon at least before train services start up again. Some roads are also still closed while the clear-up operation to remove trees and vehicles continues, motoring organisation ANWB said. The KNMI weather bureau ended its code red weather warning around 2.30 am on Saturday, but said strong gusts of wind are still likely over much of the country in the first part of the day, apart from the far south. Strong winds are expected to return again on Sunday, the KNMI said. Insurance company Interpolis said on Friday evening it had already received 2,400 claims for damage caused by the storm, of which more than 90% related to housing.

Jaga,
I had stay at my broadcast corporation for hours after my work due to the violent shaking large trees, breaking branches and I got an I-Phone alarm, Stay indoors, don't go outside!
Poland has probably these same problems as the Netherlands with blocked roads and railway lines. Damaged houses and electricity lines.
Cheers,
Pieter
