The death toll from a storm that battered Spain, Portugal and France rose to eight on Saturday as the region braced for more violent winds and heavy rain.
A man died Saturday after his car was swept away by a swollen river near the town of Huescar in the southern province of Granada, the regional government of Andalusia said in a statement. Storm Elsa flooded rivers, brought down power lines and disrupted rail and air travel across the region. Another 13 flights were diverted from airports in Galicia to other parts of Spain or Portugal, it added.
France's weather office placed 15 regions in the southwest of the country on orange alert Saturday, as the storm battered its Atlantic coast. France's SNCF rail network cancelled services between Bordeaux, Toulouse and Hendaye services in the southwest because of the likelihood of winds blowing trees down on to the line.
