Floods in Europe Begin Search for Extinction

Dozens of people died in Majorka, three missing, including a 5-year-old child.

Two others died in Sainte-Maxime on the southern coast of France, while a woman was found dead in Sardinia.

The two British flooding victims in Majorca have been identified as Anthony and Delia Green, a couple in their mid-70s.

They were found dead in their taxi, which was swept away by the powerful water current near the tourist city of Sant Lyorencit. The taxi driver's body was found nearby.

More than a hundred rescue workers searched for the missing 5-year-old boy overnight. He is believed to have been in a car with his mother, who is among the victims.

His sister, who was in the car, survived and was saved.

Both other missing persons are German citizens. The local newspaper Diario de Mallorca reports that since Thursday morning, 323 people have been searching for survivors, police, emergency teams and military personnel.

Floods in France

In France, leaving the Garonnet River bed in Saint-Maxime caused five cars to disappear in the nearby sea.

One of the cars had the lights on, and witnesses said one person was at the wheel.

On Thursday morning, French broadcaster BFMTV said divers had discovered the vehicle in water and reported two deaths.

The victims were not identified, but there were two passengers from the same vehicle.

Regional leader Jean-Luc Videlaine warned that the death toll could increase.

Bridge sets in Sardinia

In Italy, the area of Sardinaj's Cagliari has also been hit by bad weather, and a woman was found dead Thursday.

It was announced missing Wednesday evening after its car was blocked by the flooding.

Other family members, the husband and her three daughter were rescued by helicopter, Italian media said.

Much of the Caligiar remains underwater.

Roads and bridges have also been damaged.

Dozens of people have been evacuated and several roads have been closed due to collapses or dangerous water levels.
