By Monday evening, Britain's Environment Agency issued seven severe flood warnings in the central English counties of Herefordshire, Staffordshire and Worcestershire . Another 200 lower-level flood warnings were also in place, meaning that flooding was expected. 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.
