The storm captured in photos

Last night’s storm was one of the strongest in Denmark for decades. Here is some of the evidence

Our photographer and journalist Peter Stanners donned a cycle helmet and went out to capture the damage caused by the storm of 28 October 2013, before the authorities had time to clean up.

Most of these photographs were taken in Frederiksberg and Copenhagen.
