THE HAGUE: Falling trees killed three people as Storm Eunice pummelled the Netherlands, damaging buildings and blowing off parts of the roof at the stadium of soccer club ADO Den Haag, authorities said.
The government sent out text alerts telling people to stay indoors and said they should only call emergency services in life-threatening situations. “The emergency number is overloaded,” read the message.
Two people were killed by falling trees in Amsterdam, and a third in the nearby Diemen area, the city’s fire department said.
“Do not go out on the street anymore. It is truly dangerous,” the city’s police force said on Twitter.
