BERLIN: The latest storm to hit Germany caused damage worth 500 million euros ($613 million), the German insurance industry association GDV said on Friday.
The storm, dubbed Friederike locally, swept across northern Germany on Thursday.
The costs incurred are well behind the last severe storm to hit Germany, Kyrill in 2007, which caused 2 billion euros in damage, GDV said.
German rail operator Deutsche Bahn also put the level of damage to the rail network at millions of euros.
