Two Storms Batter Northern Europe, Causing Widespread Power Outages and Disruption

Storms Boelo and Austen have slammed northern Europe, resulting in one fatality in Scotland, cutting power to over 150,000 homes across the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, and disrupting flights and phone networks. Winds of up to 135 km/h were recorded, bringing down trees and power cables. Authorities have warned of flood risks in affected regions, with experts attributing the increase in extreme weather events to climate change.
