Tens of thousands of people in western and southern Sweden are without electricity after a storm ripped through the region on Sunday night.
Storm Gorm is one of the most powerful weather systems to hit Sweden in years, having moved north from Denmark over the weekend.
It pulled down trees and power lines across the south of the country, while residents reported damaged roofs and cars.

"We've had everything from chimneys that have become loose and blown down to roofs that have come off and barns literally torn up from the ground," Johan Wallin, a spokesperson for the emergency services in Halland told the TT news wire.
"There will be many more phone calls when the electricity comes back; we're learning there are many trees lying around the county," he added. According to TT, approximately 9,000 people experienced problems with their fixed phone lines and several mobile networks also faced disruption during the worst of the bad weather.
A total of 55,000 people lost power over the weekend, with energy companies suggesting it could take several days to restore some services.
