This is the dramatic moment a bus is swept away in a flooded French river after huge rainfall from Storm Aline - as northern Europe faces a battering from Storm Babet.
Gale-force winds and floods struck several countries in northern Europe as the region endured more heavy rain on Friday that forecasters say will continue into the weekend.
Danish meteorologists issued their highest warning for 'very dangerous weather' and said levels of some inland waters were expected to rise up to 240 centimetres (nearly eight feet) above normal.
In a demonstration of the dangerous weather, a yellow bus was swept down a river in Saint-Martin-Vésubie in southern France at midday on Friday.
Video shows it passing other buses parked on the bank during high water levels, with half of the vehicle submerged as it comes to a halt.
