Delta battered the Canary Islands killing seven and leaving hundreds of thousands without power according to an article in the Cape Times.
The death toll rose after strong winds blew a man off his roof, which he was apparently trying to repair on the island of Fuerteventura as the storm approached, emergency officials said.
Storm Delta also claimed the lives of six African migrants who drowned off the Canary Islands on Monday as waves swept their makeshift boat.
The islands of Tenerife and La Palma were worst hit by the storm, which had passed over by mid-morning. Uprooted trees and landslides forced the closure of roads on the picturesque islands.
About 223,000 customers had no electricity, and the lack of power was also affecting some telephone services.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Epsilon, the 26th storm of the record breaking season, has formed in the Atlantic. Epsilon is not forecast to hit land but could bring strong surf to Bermuda. This year's tropical season seems to never end. It will end officially on November 30th -- but Epsilon will still be around and there is no guarantee that there won't be another system in December.
