Floods And Snow Strike Europe Hard. Early snows blitz Dutch traffic. In France, the Loire and Garonne rivers overflow, inundating thousands of acres. Thousands are homeless - damage runs into millions. Snowy scene in Holland including windmill. VS people traveling by bicycle while snow falls. Tow truck pulls a smashed up car (Volkswagen Beetle?). Nice view from boat of flooded area in France, with a small boat being pushed by pole through the water. View as camera floats past a woman standing at the door of her home, surrounded by water. Man carries child out of door (rescue, evacuation); water is almost to the man's waist. VS people evacuating by boat. Cat saves itself by jumping from stranded area to the safety of higher ground atop some sort of structure.
