14 Dead, 2 Missing After Major Storm Strikes

Powerful winds and heavy rain swept across northern Europe over the weekend, leaving at least 14 people dead and two missing. Air and sea transport was disrupted, and hundreds of thousands of homes lost power.

The storm was one of the worst to hit Scandinavia in years, with winds topping 75 mph, meteorologists said.

At least six people died in Sweden, including two whose cars were hit by falling branches. One motorist died in Denmark, and three other people were killed by debris and falling trees.

Four people were reported killed in Britain, and two kayakers were missing in Germany and presumed dead.
