I don't see it being a "disaster" for Europe. I do think it will be damaging for England. As London was the financial center of Europe, I think you'll see a lot of financial institutions transition their work force to other countries.
Goldman-Sachs has already announced that they are moving 2,000 of their employees from London to Ireland and Germany.
I foundthis video of a BBC interviewwith a man who was "shocked" that Britain left the EU even though he voted to leave. He thought his vote wouldn't count and only voted to "make a point"
Remember this Trump voters.

‘Brexit’ Aftershocks: More Rifts in Europe, and in Britain, Too
LONDON — Britain’s startling decision to pull out of the European Union set off a cascade of aftershocks on Friday, costing Prime Minister David Cameron his job, plunging the financial markets into turmoil and leaving the country’s future in doubt.
The decisive win by the “Leave” campaign exposed deep divides: young versus old, urban versus rural, Scotland versus England. The recriminations flew fast, not least at Mr. Cameron, who had made the decision to call the referendum on membership in the bloc to manage a rebellion in his own Conservative Party, only to have it destroy his government and tarnish his legacy.
The result of the so-called Brexit vote presented another stiff challenge to the leaders of the other leading European powers as they confront spreading populist anger. It was seized on by far-right and anti-Brussels parties across Europe, with Marine Le Pen of the National Front in France calling for a “Frexit” referendum and Geert Wilders of the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands calling for a “Nexit.”
European officials met in Brussels to begin discussing a response and to emphasize their commitment to strengthening and improving the bloc, which will have 27 members after Britain’s departure.
“At stake is the breakup, pure and simple, of the union,” Prime Minister Manuel Valls of France said, adding, “Now is the time to invent another Europe.”
Germany urged calm. “Today marks a turning point for Europe,” Chancellor Angela Merkel said. “It is a turning point for the European unification process.”

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
