Trains were halted in the north of the country for safety reasons while a key motorway at Alkmaar, near Amsterdam, was blocked by a toppled lorry, Dutch authorities said.
The government sent out a mobile phone alert calling on people to stay indoors in North Holland province, which includes Amsterdam, and to only call overstretched emergency services in “life-threatening” situations. A gust of 146 kmh measured in IJmuiden was also the strongest ever recorded in the summer in the Netherlands, where the storm season is normally from October to April, it said.
