In Belgium, the situation has returned to normal with regard to floods. Yesterday, the Ourthe was still on pre-alert, this is no longer the case today. Yesterday, the Eupen dam began to be drained in anticipation of the rain expected from tomorrow.
So it won’t rain this Thursday either. Unlike certain neighboring countries, Belgium escapes bad weather even if the weekend promises to be rainy.
The UK
Heavy snow caused by Storm Gerrit brings traffic to a standstill on the main A9 road in the Scottish Highlands, near the village of Dalwhinnie. Police Scotland have warned of further disruption as yellow weather alerts remain in place until midnight.
Storm Gerrit caused major disruption for post-Christmas travelers across the UK, with flights, trains and ferries canceled on one of the busiest days for British travelers. Two important football matches in Scotland also fell victim to the elements: Rangers’ scheduled Scottish Premiership match at home to Ross County and Aberdeen’s Premier League match once morest Motherwell had to be postponed.
In Germany
A sports hall in Winsen, around thirty kilometers from the large port city of Hamburg, is used as emergency shelter.
In some districts, firefighters announced they would no longer be able to respond to all calls due to the volume of them received.
In the Nederlands
The nearby IJssel River is experiencing a “storm surge” according to the Rijkswaterstaat, a government agency that oversees public works and water management, while public broadcaster NOS says sandbags are being placed in the city of Deventer to reinforce certain areas.
