A powerful hurricane "Ilenia" swept across Germany. He paralyzed the movement of railway transport in the country.
Thus, railway services have been suspended in seven regions, and schools have been closed across the country.
Winds of more than 152 km/h felled trees, tore down road signs and signs.
Most of all, the hurricane affected the lands of North Rhine-Westphalia and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
The storm is expected to subside this afternoon, however, in the highlands near the Czech-German border, wind gusts will still reach 120 kilometers per hour.
