A winter storm by the name "Xynthia" smashed into Western Europe on Sunday. The storm was said to have hit France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and England with deaths being reported in all nations. According to the report France was hit the hardest of the affected countries. There are 55 deaths being reported initially and that number could very well rise in the coming days. The death toll in France sits at 45 right now, with most of the victims dying from drowning. French Prime Minister Francois Fillon declared the storm a "national catastrophe." He also went on to add, "now the priority is to bring all the people left homeless and still threatened by the rising waters to safety, all services are mobilized to reach that goal as soon as possible."
