1999: At least 79 killed by Eurostorm
of the century, plus enormous material damage.
La tempête du siècle (?) Another powerful storm hits France as Western Europe struggles to recover from freak weekend gales that ripped trees from the ground, toppled walls and killed people. France bears the brunt of the devastation, and Paris officials call for the battered city to be declared a natural disaster area. Across France, 1.5 million homes remain without electricity. This is an ecological disaster for Paris. Really, we'll need three years to reconstruct, says Françoise de Panafieu, Paris' deputy mayor. Although weather conditions in Paris and much of the country were calm on Monday, another storm hit southwest France late in the evening with 130 km/h winds. All flights to Bordeaux, Toulouse and Biarritz were canceled and train traffic was suspended throughout the region. In Paris, tens of thousands of people returning to work today Monday after the Christmas holiday had to trample through streets strewn with debris, broken glass and uprooted trees. Traffic lights were bent, newspaper kiosks blown over and cultural monuments damaged. The storm toppled or damaged 60'000 trees in two forests on the city's outskirts and 2000 more along the city's streets. Slabs of roofing of the Notre Dame cathedral were blown off and a stained glass window at the Sainte-Chapelle was shattered by flying stonework. Worst hit among France's cultural monuments was the royal palace and park at Versailles, where the roof was damaged, windows were broken and 10'000 trees were ripped from the ground, including 200-year-old cedars planted around the time of the French Revolution. The National Fund for Historic Sites and Monuments estimated that it will take $62 million to $77 million to repair damaged cultural monuments. Paris Mayor Jean Tiberi said urgent repair work would be completed quickly, and predicted that millennium parties in the city, expected to draw millions of revelers, would not be disrupted. The information we have right now shows everything will be normal," he said. But of course we'll be attentive. He said security checks had been carried out on a line of Ferris wheels temporarily erected along the Champs-Elysees and that there had been no storm damage. Gusts of about 170 km/h tore roofs off buildings and knocked over huge cranes. It was Paris' worst storm in 50 years, officials said. The storms, which began before dawn Sunday 991226, wreaked havoc across Europe, disrupting travel by road, rail and air and stranding tens of thousands of holiday travelers. In Germany, 17 people died, most of them in Baden-Württemberg state across the Rhine from France. Fallen trees blocked roads and 1000 homes in Bavaria were without power. In neighboring Switzerland, at least 13 people were killed and several were injured, mostly by falling trees. Two of the victims were killed at a southern ski resort when a tree crashed into a lift cable and sent their gondola crashing to the ground. Thousands of homes, mostly in the mountainous Bernese Öberland region, remained without electricity Monday due to fallen trees. In northern Spain, a gust of wind knocked down a wall under construction at a truck stop, killing two workers. Three other people will killed in other accidents at two other construction sites. In Italy, several highways were closed and 7000 passengers were stranded at Milan's Malpensa airport. In Belgium, several rivers overflowed their banks. In Paris, light airplanes were flung around like cardboard on Sunday 991226. Chimney stacks were sent tumbling and even the awning of the famed Lido topless cabaret was torn from its support and propelled down the Champs-Elysées by the winds. |

Amin is the 3rd Afghan President in 20 months to be overthrown and murdered in a coup (the first one was killed in April 1978 in the Saur Revolution that brought the Marxists to power. He was Sardar Mohammad Daoud Khan, a non-Communist who had taken power in 1973 by overthrowing his cousin King Mohammad Zahir, abolishing the monarchy, and proclaiming himself the president of the Republic of Afghanistan in July 1973). The USSR moves massive troops into Afghanistan, intervening in what was until then a civil war between the Soviet puppet government and anti-Communist guerillas. The USSR will be stuck in Afghanistan for more than 10 years and ultimately defeated.
