Older people in Emsland in particular look back with horror at November 13, 1972. 40 years ago, Hurricane Quimburga swept across northern and central Europe with top speeds of 200 km/h. The consequences were devastating. 19 people died in Lower Saxony and Bremen alone. In the old district of Meppen, 80 percent of the houses were damaged, 20 percent of them seriously.
