Storm Amy swept across Europe, killing three people and cutting power to tens of thousands of homes.
Authorities in Ireland reported a man died in Letterkenny on Friday due to weather-related conditions.
French officials confirmed two men died, one hit by a falling tree, another while swimming near Étretat.
High winds and heavy rain disrupted road, rail, and ferry travel across the UK, Ireland, and Scandinavia.

France and Belgium Face Extreme Gusts

Northern France issued an orange alert as winds reached 131 kph on the coast and 110 kph inland.
Around 5,000 homes in Normandy lost electricity, with power partially restored throughout the day.
Belgium declared a nationwide Code Orange alert as gusts topped 100 kph, closing Ostend breakwaters for safety.
Officials activated emergency lines for non-urgent fire assistance after Amy caused local damage.

Scandinavia Battles Flooding and Blackouts

Norway lost power to 120,000 households, closed over 100 roads, and reported downed trees in multiple regions.
Meteorologists predicted up to 100 millimetres of rain in twelve hours across Vestfold and Telemark.
Sweden recorded hurricane-force gusts off northern Halland, issuing orange and yellow warnings across southern and central areas.
Amy, the remnant of Hurricane Humberto, continued driving strong winds, heavy rain, and coastal flooding across northern Europe.
