The Gale of January 1976, widely known as the "Capella" storm in Germany and the Ruisbroek flood in Belgium, was one in a series of extratropical cyclones and storm surges, which occurred over January 1976. The gale of 2–5 January 1976 resulted in severe wind damage across western and central Europe and coastal flooding around the southern North Sea coasts. At the time, this was the most severe storm of the century over the British Isles. Total fatalities reached 82 across Europe, although a figure of 100 is given by the World Meteorological Organization. Of these 24 were reported in Britain and 4 in Ireland. Overall losses of US$1.3 billion were incurred, with insured losses standing at US$500 million (1976).

  • Der Capella-Orkan war ein Orkan, der am 3. Januar 1976 über Mitteleuropa hinwegzog und zu den stärksten Orkanen des 20. Jahrhunderts gehörte. Er richtete große Schäden an und kostete 82 Menschenleben. Bei der durch den Orkan ausgelösten Sturmflut wurden an der deutschen Nordseeküste teilweise die Extremwerte der Sturmflut von 1962 deutlich überschritten. Benannt ist der Sturm nach dem Schiff Capella aus Rostock, das vor der niederländischen Küste mit elf Mann Besatzung sank. (de)

  • De storm van 2 januari 1976 was een zeer zware storm, die in de nacht van 2 op 3 januari over Nederland en België trok. Deze storm was de derde in een meteorologisch gezien relatief korte tijd (de eerdere stormen waren op 13 november 1972 en 2 april 1973). De depressie die de storm veroorzaakte begon nabij de Azoren en trok daarna via de Noordzee, Denemarken en Oekraïne naar de Oeral. (nl)
