Northern Europe is still recovering from hurricane-force winds, with more turbulent weather.

Northern Europe experienced its third major storm in five days, with heavy rain and strong winds on Sunday and Monday, resulting in at least two more deaths, travel disruptions, and hundreds of flood warnings across the region still recovering from hurricane-force winds last week.

Storm Franklin rushed in from the North Atlantic on Sunday afternoon, with crews working to clear fallen trees and restore electricity to thousands of homes hit by Dudley and Eunice storms last week. Heavy rain and strong winds swept Northern Ireland and northern England before moving on to France.

The Environment Agency in England has issued more than 300 flood warnings and alerts, and train operators have urged people not to travel.

In France, a couple in their seventies died on Sunday after their car slipped into the English Channel near a small town in Normandy. The couple had called for help but it did not reach them in time.

At least 14 people have died across Europe during a week of severe weather that meteorologists say is fueled by an unusually strong jet stream over the North Atlantic. The storms caused power outages for hundreds of thousands of people and led to flooding and local evacuations as winds destroyed building roofs.

Similarly, gusts of up to 140 km/h were recorded late Sunday on the Isle of Wight after the UK Met Office warned Storm Franklin would produce widespread winds from 96 km/h to 112 km/h.

Losses in Germany were estimated at around 2.3 billion Canadian dollars, with the latest storm less severe than its immediate predecessors but still knocking down trees and ripping off a house roof in Herdecke, near Dortmund.

Two drivers collided with a tree in Belm in northern Germany and were taken to hospital.

Official weather warnings in Germany for the latest storm, named Antonia, were lifted on Monday, although transport disruptions continued in northern parts of the country.

Insurance broker Aon estimated insured damages in Germany from consecutive storms at around 1.6 billion euros (2.3 billion Canadian dollars). The Dutch Insurers Association estimated the three storms caused damages of no less than 500 million euros (722 million Canadian dollars) across the Netherlands.

Despite preparations and warnings by meteorological authorities, "February storms triggered a record number of claims and a huge compensation bill," said Richard Woerding, director general of the Dutch Insurers Association.

The storms destroyed building roofs and uprooted trees throughout the Netherlands, killing four people on Friday. Insurers warned of further damage as strong winds are forecast in the coming days.

In Denmark, the storm uprooted trees and disrupted railway services in and around the capital Copenhagen. Sweden also saw heavy snowfall leading to bus closures in the capital Stockholm.
