Heavy rains and winds topping 130 kilometres per hour swirled through the region overnight Friday to Saturday. 

 

The storm caused serious damage to houses, roads and power lines across the country's east, with heavy rains bringing a train off the tracks near the town of Constantine. (Albawaba.com)
