More than 80 people have received emergency treatment and nearly a dozen have been hospitalized since the storm thundered across Catalonia in northeastern Spain, El Pais reports. Schools have been closed and around 100 departures at Barcelona's El Prat airport have been canceled.

In southwestern France, a truck driver was killed by a branch through the windshield. Rivers have flooded and hundreds of thousands of French households were left without power in the evening, reports Le Monde.

Portugal has also been shaken by the storm with the Scandinavian name. A motorway viaduct has partially collapsed between Lisbon and Porto, according to AFP.

The storm has continued eastward during the evening, with strong winds over the island of Corsica west of Italy.
