A winter gale / hurricane (low pressure system "Joachim") has been / is still traveling over Central and Southern Germany, wreaking moderate havoc. I heard earlier today that in a town near me there have been wind speeds of 137 km/h (85 mph) ... it's pretty unusual, there hasn't been one this strong in many years. In some regions, rain falls of up to 55 l (14.5 US gallons) per square meter are expected.
