Where was affected?
Storm Ciara – also known as Storm Sabine in parts of Europe – has caused extensive damage.
After first sweeping across Ireland and the UK on Sunday, the storm thrashed the north coast of mainland Europe.
Transport shut down and schools were forced to close across Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Dutch authorities reported traffic jams of more than 720km (448 miles) across the country on Monday, and there was still some flight disruption on Tuesday after airlines cancelled hundreds of journeys.
In Germany, a crane smashed into Frankfurt Cathedral, damaging parts of the roof. Hamburg’s fish market remained flooded on Tuesday after a storm surge reportedly forced the tide 2.7 metres (9 feet) above the norm.
High winds caused major problems across the continent.
The Oresund bridge between Denmark and Sweden was closed for several hours on Monday while winds in the Czech Republic reached 180km/h (111mph). Police in the country said the storm was probably to blame for a car accident which killed a man.
However, the powerful gusts did bring one unexpected benefit in Germany. Wind turbines there produced a record amount of electricity, reportedly equivalent to 44 nuclear power plants.
