Gale force winds kill one person, leave thousands of households without power

Gale force winds sweeping the country killed one person and left over 50 thousand households without power on Sunday. Moreover fresh snow in the higher altitudes formed snow-drifts on the roads, complicating traffic. A high wind warning remains in place until midnight on Sunday. Meteorologists predict high winds particularly in the north-eastern parts of Bohemia, in the Vysočina region, in Silesia and also in the south and west of Moravia.
