Waves crash against a lighthouse in Newhaven, England, near where a 14-year-old boy was swept away to sea, as storms battered Britain. The nation’s strongest storm in a decade struck southern regions of the country Monday, forcing hundreds of flight cancellations, cutting power lines and disrupting the travel plans of millions of commuters. Police said rescuers were forced to call off a search for the boy late Sunday because of the pounding waves, whipped up by the rising wind. |
