Storm Andrea was an intense depression that swept through Western and Northern Europe in early January 2012. It resulted in one fatality and caused €300 million in damages. The winds damaged buildings and trees, causing power outages. Heavy rains and storm surges led to flooding, while snow trapped numerous villages in the mountains.
