In an unprecedented move, Germany shut down its train service "to a large extent" on Thursday night, said Hartmut Mehdorn, the chief executive of national railroad Deutsche Bahn. "We have never yet had such a situation in Germany," he said.

The national weather service in Germany dubbed the storm "Cyril," and gusts of up to 118 mph were measured on the Brocken mountain in central Germany.

Europe reeling from deadly storm
January 20, 2007

BERLIN–Workers across Europe hauled away fallen trees and repaired power lines yesterday after the deadliest storm to strike the continent in eight years killed at least 47 people and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.

Trains started rolling again after a near-total shutdown during Thursday night's hurricane-force winds. Airports from London to Frankfurt reported some delays and cancellations, but were returning to normal.

The disruption hit countries from Britain to Ukraine, where the flow of Russian oil through a pipeline to Europe was temporarily cut after power to a pumping station was knocked out.

The storm knocked out electricity to more than 1 million homes in the Czech Republic, which was hit by winds of up to 180 km/h, but most had power restored by last night.

One million households in Germany and tens of thousands of homes in Poland, Austria and Britain also lost power.

The storm killed 14 people in Britain, 12 in Germany, six each in the Netherlands and Poland, four in the Czech Republic, three in France and two in Belgium.

Most of those killed were motorists. But, victims also included: two German firefighters; an 18-month-old child in Munich hit by a door ripped from its hinges; a toddler killed in London when a brick wall collapsed on him; and a Polish crane operator killed when his crane broke in half.
