Northern Europe storm.

I don't know how much you have seen about this in news but here's something.
Finland didn't get strongest winds, only water.
All mareographs of Finnish Institute of Marine Research measured record high sealevel.
And for example in one city in eastern part of Gulf of Finland sealevel was two meters above normal and caused "little" flooding.
And from other countries.
In Estonia one third of country was without power and in Latvia half of the country.
In one place wind reached 41 m/s.
In Sweden they're expecting to get railroad networks "back to schedule" on thursday because there's "little" cleaning of fallen trees and repairing damages.
Finnish Institute of Marine Research doesn't yet have english page but content should be clear enough.

BTW, didn't break current wave height record... which was made by other storm few weeks ago. :D

And here's best, from one Estonian stormchaser.
[i]I decided to stop naming storms. EMHI uses Germans data. Germans named that beast as Erwin. Another hurricane with minimum central pressure 960
millibars, Freddy is coming. I named Erwin as Natalja. One country(possibly Swedes) named it Gudrun.
Strongest hurricane in several decades![/i]
And surface water temperature in Atlantic is higher than normal so there might be still many storms more in this winter. (heat is the force which creates and runs storms)

I would keep these storms becoming much more frequent and stronger as one nail more to coffin of those claiming there's no greenhouse effect.

Wonder what other wacky weather there is arround the world right now.
At the time of Estonia disaster in 1994 (989 people in the ship, only 137 survived) significant waveheight was "only" 4 meters.
Damn nasty. Poorly done calculations on wave force... front visor and landing ramp mechanically linked (one goes, the other goes)... no further divisions on car deck. Poorly designed ships don't need a century's storm... just a yearly strong storm, wrong course, late detection... and gone. Scarily fast.
And naming ships after countries invites bad luck.
----------
As for this year's storm:
There has been notable flooding in two cities here: Pärnu and Haapsalu. To my knowledge no casualties (hopefully)... but property damage is going to be serious.
But those are small biscuits...historically St. Petersburg has suffered the worst floods. However, since 1987 they have a dam (which is meanwhile unfortunately causing ecological problems) to prevent flooding. This time will measure its actual effect against really bad weather.
