High winds, waves and tides were lashing Britain's western coast Friday in a winter storm that flooded seaside towns and low-lying areas.

Wales, southwest England and Northern Ireland were the worst-hit regions by the storm, the latest in a series of extreme winter conditions. Parts of northwestern France also suffered flooding.
