(AP PHOTO/NICHOLAS T ANSELL) At least 14 people died when Hurricane Eunice carved a deadly trail across Europe. Deaths were reported in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, the Republic of Ireland and the UK, as strong winds cut trees and sent debris flying. Millions of homes and businesses lost power across Europe and transport links fell apart. The Dutch coast guard said it was trying to find 26 empty containers that went missing in the North Sea. Blowings in excess of 120mph (nearly 200 km/h) were recorded on Friday (18/2/2022). Some of those killed by falling trees: four in the Netherlands, two in Poland after a tree fell on their car, and a man in his 60s in County Wexford, Republic of Ireland. Two more died in Germany and three people died on the streets of England. Two people have died in Belgium, including a man whose head was struck by a solar panel that flew from a building in Ghent. A 40ft (12m) long shipping container was lost from the Panama-registered Marcos V around the Wadden Islands, en route to Germany. The Dutch coast guard said it was using helicopters and emergency tugboats in the search, while ships in the area had also been asked to keep watch.Elsewhere in the Netherlands the roof of the ADO Den Haag football team's stadium in The Hague was torn apart. High-speed trains to Belgium, France and the UK were cancelled. In Germany, rail operator Deutsche Bahn said "more than 1,000 km" (620 miles) of rail had been damaged. AFP reported that Poland still had one million customers with power outage on Saturday (19/2/2022) afternoon, after the country's northwest was hit by Hurricane Eunice. Ferries across the Strait, the world's busiest shipping lane, were suspended before the British port of Dover reopened on Friday (18/2/2022) afternoon. Hundreds of flights were canceled at airports including Heathrow and Schiphol. link :https://www.kompas.com/global/read/2022/02/20/081744370/gambar-gambar-tunjukkan-parahnya-dampak-terjangan-badai-eunice-di-seluruh 1
