(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Three people were killed as powerful storms swept across several European countries Sunday, causing widespread disruption to air, sea, and land transportation. The storm continued moving eastward from the British Isles toward France and Germany, amid warnings of strong winds and high tides.

Local authorities in France announced the deaths of two people as a result of the effects of Storm Amy. The French Meteorological administration has raised the alert level to orange in six northern departments in anticipation of heavy winds and rain, noting that power was cut to approximately 5,000 houses in the Normandy region.

Strong winds and heavy rain also caused one death, extensive damage, and power outages in Ireland.

The severe weather conditions extended to the Netherlands, where authorities canceled approximately 80 arriving and 70 departing flights due to the bad weather.

European meteorological centers expect the storm's effects to continue over the coming hours as it moves eastward toward the center of the continent, accompanied by strong winds and heavy rains. It is expected to gradually subside early next week.
