"AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) -- One of the fiercest storms in years battered northern Europe Thursday, killing at least nine people, injuring others and disrupting travel for thousands.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, meanwhile, cut short her visit to Berlin in order to leave for London before winds worsened, landing in Britain's capital amid winds gusting up to 130 kph (80 mph).
The storm -- dubbed "Cyril" by German meteorologists -- was expected to intensify throughout the day.
"Our country has not had a storm like this in years," the Netherlands' Royal Weather Service said in a bulletin. "We advise you to follow weather alarms and messages to the letter."
