In Finland, 160,000 homes lost power due to a severe storm

The storm "Hannes," which hit Finland, caused power outages in about 160,000 households, reports the Swedish publication Sweden Herald, citing RIA Novosti.

The wind speed during the winter storm reached 25 meters per second, leading to widespread power outages. As of 10:30 PM local time, more than 160,000 households were without electricity, with the western regions of the country being particularly affected. "Throughout the evening, as the storm intensified, the number of outages sharply increased," the publication notes.

Additionally, the article mentions that the severe weather conditions nearly triggered a serious aviation disaster.

"According to rescue services, a passenger plane with approximately 150 passengers, as well as a smaller aircraft with fewer than ten people on board, skidded off the runway and collided with a snowbank due to the strong winds," the publication adds.

Fortunately, since the incident occurred at a low speed, no one was injured," the article concludes.
