Over 370,000 homes in Britain were without power and hundreds of flights were canceled as Storm Eunice unleashed chaos across London, southeast England and parts of continental Europe.
The U.K.’s Met Office eased its warning level from red to amber Friday afternoon, with strong winds expected into the evening for parts of the country. As the worst of the storm passes, the affected areas will begin to assess damage that could add up to hundreds of millions of dollars.
