The sixth victim of last week’s storms dies

A 60-year-old woman died in hospital on Tuesday, becoming the sixth casualty of the storm the hit northern and western Poland on Friday. She was hiding in the shed along with her husband when the building collapsed. She was taken to a nearby hospital where she eventually passed away. Her husband did not suffer any serious injuries. Besides her, five other people, including two teenage girl scouts, were killed and more than 30 were injured as a result of falling trees in a series of severe storms that hit Poland on Friday night. The girls, 13 and 14, were crushed by falling trees while sleeping in a tent when a storm hit their campground. The rescue mission took hours because of the terrible weather conditions. Three other victims were also killed by the falling trees. Over 170,000 people were left without power and 800 buildings were damaged, mostly in northern and western Poland.
