A violent storm swept through Germany overnight from Wednesday to Thursday, causing no casualties but resulting in numerous cancellations of flights and trains.
Hurricane "Ylenia" concentrated in the morning on the regions of northern Hesse, Saxony and southern Brandenburg, according to the German weather service (DWD).
As a result, no long-distance trains are expected to run in the northern half of Germany before noon, train operator Deutsche Bahn said.
Cancellations and delays are also expected in regional traffic.
