Storm Eleanor – level 1
09-01-2018 07:00
Storm Eleanor hits parts of northern Europe. It causes flooding and damage. Four people die because of the storm.
There is a video from Austria. Someone takes it on a skiing slope. It shows chairlifts in the strong wind. The chairlifts move from side to side. It is quite dramatic. There are people stuck in them!
Difficult words: cause (make), flooding (when a lot of water moves), damage (breaking of things), chairlift (chairs hung from a moving cable for carrying people up a mountain).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
