Hurricane "Zeynep" caused a storm surge, accidents and restrictions in rail traffic at the start of the weekend.

At least three people died because of the storm.

The fire brigades counted thousands of missions, mostly to fallen trees, objects flying around and damaged buildings - in NRW they deployed more than 12,000 missions by Saturday noon, the Berlin fire brigade counted 1300 weather-related emergencies, the Hamburg fire brigade reported a good 650 missions in the morning.

On Saturday the wind weakened somewhat, but there were still gusts of wind, especially in the north.

According to the German Weather Service (DWD), on Sunday there will initially be strong to stormy gusts in the lowlands.

Sometimes it should rain longer.

"It could get really turbulent and sometimes dangerous on Monday night," said Adrian Leyser from the DWD's weather forecasting center about storm "Antonia": Heavy gusts of wind or even hurricane-force gusts cannot be ruled out.

"The trees, which were already affected by the previous storms and are standing in partially heavily softened soil, can easily fall over," said Leyser.

The weather will only calm down on Tuesday.

It was initially unclear on Saturday when the long-distance trains of Deutsche Bahn in the north and east would run regularly again.

"There are no long-distance trains north of Düsseldorf, Hanover and Berlin until at least 6 p.m.," said the railway on Saturday.

The ICE trains on the routes Cologne - Hanover - Berlin as well as Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe and Berlin will also be canceled until then.

Deutsche Bahn is doing everything it can to gradually resume train traffic as quickly as possible.

Because of the storm, train services were partially suspended on Friday.

"Zeynep" crossed Germany from Friday afternoon with local wind speeds of more than 160 kilometers per hour.

The highest value was measured on Saturday night at around 162 kilometers per hour at the North Sea lighthouse "Alte Weser", as reported by the German Weather Service (DWD).

In the morning, the DWD lifted all severe weather warnings for hurricane gusts.

On Saturday there were three deaths from the storm.

A 17-year-old passenger died in Hopsten (NRW).

According to the police, a 56-year-old driver died near Altenberge in North Rhine-Westphalia when he crashed his car into a tree lying across the road.

A man died in an accident in the Lower Saxony municipality of Wurster Nordseekueste when he tried to repair the damaged roof of a stable during the storm.

According to the police, the 68-year-old broke through the roof and fell about ten meters down.

On Saturday morning in Hamburg, for the first time since 2013, there was a very severe storm surge with more than 3.5 meters above the mean high water level: According to the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) 3, the Elbe reached around 5.30 a.m. at the St. Pauli level, 75 meters above mean high tide.

Firefighters rescued two men who were trapped in their car in the flooded warehouse district with a rubber dinghy.
