On the weekend of October 5th, 2025, a powerful storm named Amy swept across Europe, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The storm, which was the remnant of Hurricane Humberto, claimed the lives of three people in Ireland, France, and Norway.
In Ireland, a man died in Letterkenny, northwest Ireland, on Friday in a weather-related incident. In France, two men were killed by the storm, one after being swept away while swimming in the water at Étretat, and another when a large tree branch fell onto a vehicle in the northern Aisne region.
The storm also caused widespread disruption to travel, with road, rail, and sea services facing major disruptions across the UK, Ireland, and Scandinavia. In the UK, London's famed Royal Parks were forced to shut their gates, and over 200,000 properties in Ireland and Northern Ireland were left without power.
