Pull your Tornado Intercept Vehicle but out of the barn. The KNMI has the highest weather warning in operation because of the heavy to very heavy wind gusts today are expected. The files also come early on the course.

The west, middle and north of the country have to take into account with extreme gusts of 100 to 120 kilometers per hour, especially between 8:00 and the first half of the afternoon attracts a huge storm over our country. Naturally this has also significant consequences for the traffic, the files were all in the morning early in motion, for example around Amsterdam and Rotterdam, it was this morning, a lot fuller on the asphalt. The ferry Vlissingen-Breskens is still in the port, reported carrier Veolia. The trains run according to a custom schedule and there are already failures because there are things in overhead lines are blown. There will also be a lot of leafs-related incidents.

The Fire department has the considerable pressure with the storm associated notifications. The ANWB advises to be extra alert, especially because there are “all about the flies away” by the strong winds. Rijkswaterstaat recommends extra distance to keep, and especially on bridges and overpasses the hands extra firmly to the handlebar clamps. Autoblog recommends to you the Corvette ZR1 is not out. Cyclists are advised not the way to go so that will be for more cars on the road, since the children are brought to school should be and people to their work must.

In the course of the afternoon from the south wind, firmly decline. It is a lot busier on the road, for example around Amsterdam and Rotterdam, but it escalates, as yet, not completely out of the claws on the roads, let’s hope it stays that way.
