People here are used to stormy weather, but not to this, Luckily, No one here was seriously hurt.

Shipping for larger vessels has been suspended in many coastal areas in Northern Germany, where storm millennia hit particularly heart.

Rail traffic is also affected.

Many long distance trains in particular have been canceled, causing major problems for those traveling from Hamburg or Berlin to Munich.

For example, these cancelations are precautionary measure because the safety of our passengers and employees is our top priority.

We don't want trains being stuck on the open track in these weather conditions because making sure 304 100 or 500 passengers on the train are safe is difficult, especially when the train is also cut off from the power supply, collapsing trees posed the highest risk for motorists.
