Road traffic is also affected as highways have to be closed and vehicles can be damaged. This results in delays, diversions and potential economic loss for affected motorists.

In addition, companies that have to close their businesses or lose work due to the storm may also suffer economic losses. This applies in particular to retailers, catering establishments and service providers that rely on normal operations.
