France and Spain deploy troops after hurricane force storm kills 25
France and Spain deployed troops Monday to join massive recovery efforts after violent storms killed 25 people and left hundreds of thousands without electricity across southern Europe. Mourners meanwhile gathered in the northeastern Spanish town of Saint-Bois-de-Llobregat to bury four children killed at the weekend when gale-force winds brought the roof and wall of a sports hall down on their heads. Thousands of workers beavered on both sides of the border to restore power and reopen roads and rail lines blocked by trees uprooted by the worst storms to hit southwestern France and northern Spain in a decade. The tempest has meanwhile barreled across the Mediterranean to batter Italy, where a young woman was swept to her death by a wave as she walked on a beach near the southern city of Naples.
