(quotes from CNN)
"Howling winds reaching 150km/h (90mph) brought trees and branches
crashing down in the city and surrounding region. Dozens of people were
reported injured by flying debris and glass overnight and firefighters
said they answered over 2,000 emergency calls for assistance. German
television said emergency services in Hamburg received about 600 calls
for assistance. There were several reports of lightning setting fire to
buildings. Berlin's main Tegel airport was closed to traffic for some
time and a Crossair passenger aircraft was forced to make an emergency
landing after running out of fuel. Streets were strewn with debris,
disrupting public transport and causing traffic delays, Reuters
reported. Air traffic and some rail services were suspended."
(quotes from BBC)
"The storm was reported to be the most violent to hit the region for 30
years with at 1,200 trees in Berlin uprooted by strong winds and many
buildings damaged."
