Netherlands Storm: At least 3 killed as powerful storm batters the country
[]
At least three people are dead from a powerful storm that battered the Netherlands. Traffic has been plunged into chaos. Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport briefly suspended all air traffic for nearly an hour on Thursday as gusts of up to 140 kilometers per hour were recorded along the coast. Nationwide train services and many tram and bus services were halted after the highest weather alert was issued. Rail authorities had reported numerous incidents before suspending services. These included a collision between a train and a trampoline blown by the wind. In Rotterdam, shipping containers were toppled and entire roofs ripped off homes.
