Storm Eunice from Ireland was heading for the United Kingdom, touching on the way, the north of France, Belgium, and even Luxembourg. This Saturday, February 19, 2022, Storm Eunice continues its rapid and violent course towards Denmark and Germany. Moreover, a major part of the German territory has been placed on red alert.

The risk includes: uprooted trees, falling branches or even damaged roofs. In the UK, Eunice hit a giant tree, as shown by the newspaper The Independent in a video posted on their Twitter handle. Faced with strong winds, the tree, visibly large and old, could not resist.

It was uprooted, taking with it a piece of sidewalk from the roadside.
