Windy weather
Gales hit Scotland
Berlin — Gale-force winds hit Scotland on December 5, leaving thousands of homes without electricity and halting train services.
Much of northwestern Europe braced for a storm that was expected to bring flooding to coastal areas and disrupt transport. Winds gusting up to 183 kilometres per hour were measured in the Scottish Highlands, and many roads and bridges were closed. All train services in Scotland were suspended.
A number of flights serving Scotland were also cancelled, and Glasgow’s central station was evacuated after debris smashed glass in the roof, officials said. — AP
