COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Gale-force winds and floods struck several countries in Northern Europe as the region braced for more heavy rain on Friday.
In Scotland, at least two people were reported dead and authorities searched for a man thought to be trapped in his vehicle.
On Friday, the Met Office issued a new “red” warning for parts of eastern Scotland for further flooding throughout Saturday.
Water levels were expected to begin dropping again on Saturday morning, Swedish meteorologists said.
On Germany’s North Sea coast, the high winds had the opposite effect to the flooding on the Baltic coast, pushing the water further out and leading to very low water levels.
