Recording-breaking winds in France and across much of Western Europe left at least six people dead and injured several others as Storm Ciarán swept through the continent overnight and into Thursday, plunging vast numbers into darkness, devastating homes and causing travel mayhem in several countries.

Winds of more than 190 kph slammed the northern tip of France’s Atlantic coast, uprooting trees and blowing out windows.
