Three deaths and power outages

Storm Johannes scared Scandinavia

In Scandinavia, storm "Johannes" caused damage in Sweden and Finland. In Sweden, three people died: two were killed by falling trees, one died during restoration work. Around 40,000 households in the country and 85,000 in Finland were left without electricity, and repairs will take several weeks. Operations at Kittilä Airport in northern Finland were also suspended when, during strong wind gusts, a passenger plane and a small aircraft were blown off the runway. At the scene, authorities reportedly noted that there were no casualties as a result.

Summary:

Storm Johannes in Scandinavia caused three deaths, left tens of thousands of homes without power, and led to the suspension of operations at a Finnish airport.
