U.K. grapples with severe floods, death toll expected to rise

To the east, Dennis' gale-force winds also left nine people injured in Germany as their vehicles crashed into broken trees littering roads and train tracks. Flooding and power outages were reported elsewhere in northern Europe.

Yet the storm's death toll of two looked certain to rise as West Mercia Police said the search for the woman, missing near Tenbury in Worcestershire since Sunday, had become a "recovery operation." A man pulled from the water in the same incident was airlifted to a hospital, where he remains in stable condition, police said.

Forecasters said river levels in parts of northern England had yet to reach their peak. In the northern England city of York, authorities were piling up more than 4,000 sandbags as the Rover Ouse continued to rise. It's expected to peak on Tuesday. "It was pitch black," she said. "All you could hear was the water running. I've never seen anything like it. I was very frightened."

In Germany, at least nine people were injured in weather-related car accidents as high winds brought trees down onto roads and train tracks.
