Severe

storms hit southern Sweden

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The waterfront in

Malmo was lashed by huge waves

 

 

 

Severe

storms have battered southern Sweden, killing at least three people,

disrupting transport and leaving about 270,000 homes without electricity.

The victims - who included a nine-year-old boy - were all struck

by falling trees.

Winds on the south-west coast reached speeds of nearly

150km/h (93mph) on Sunday but have since slackened.

Rail services were suspended because trees

had been blown onto tracks. Road and air traffic were also badly hit.

Road traffic was suspended on the giant Oresund bridge

connecting Sweden and Denmark.

Ferry services were also cancelled from the Swedish mainland to Gotland, Frederikshavn

in Denmark and Sassnitz in Germany.

Sweden's The Local website

says power companies were unable to send staff out to reconnect households

because of the harsh conditions.
