Storms batter European countries killing at least nine people in Spain and Portugal, as the region braces for more violent winds and heavy rain
Waves hit the jetty of the port of A Guarda, northwestern Spain, during the storm Fabien, on December 21, 2019. Violent winds and torrential rain battered Spain, Portugal and France overnight leaving at least five people dead, rescuers said, but the calm was not expected to last with storm Fabien barrelling towards the region, bringing more high winds and torrential rain.
Two people have so far died in Portugal and seven have now been killed in Spain, the worst affected country, after a fisherman was swept off rocks into the sea in Catalonia. As a weakened Storm Elsa moved over Britain on Saturday, Storm Fabien quickly moved in, bringing winds of 170 kilometres per hour to Galicia in northwestern Spain, forcing the cancellation of 14 flights according to Spanish airport operator Aena.
France's weather office placed 15 regions in the southwest of the country on orange alert Saturday, as the storm battered its Atlantic coast.
