Hurricane ‘Emma’ hits Austria
Austria has hurricanes?
VIENNA - At least two people were killed and another two injured Saturday in Austria, as hurricane ‘Emma’ swept over most of the country, with winds reaching up to 190 kilometres per hour (118 miles per hour).

One person was killed in Walchsee in the western province of Tyrol after a tree struck their car, local police said. Further east in Lower Austria, the local fire department announced that another person had been killed in their car by a fallen tree, and two people had also been injured in the storm.

Up to 10,000 homes were without power in Upper Austria, according to the local power company, while elsewhere, fallen trees and broken power lines caused severe disruption. Roads and sections of motorway also had to be shut down.
