Luckily only 5 here, but airports almost closed completely and lots of 
rail routes and autobahns blocked. Almost 200 kph gusts in the Harz 
mountains and a lot of trees flattened.

Flooding is going to be the next big problem here - the local rivers 
(Weser, Elbe, Leine) are already 5 to 6 metres above normal levels and 
are expected to rise even more when the snow on higher ground melts.

Cheers
Douglas
