The storm has been described as one of the most devastating storm events during the 20th century.

The storm developed over the UK where it caused some localised damage in the south before moving across the North Sea where it underwent explosive cyclogenesis dropping from 969 hPa to 953 hPa. This development was fueled by the contrast between cold air in the parent low and the warm water of the North Sea. The storm brought wind gusts of over Шаблон:Convert to large areas of the Netherlands, with gusts over Шаблон:Convert across northern Germany.
