Norwegian rescue teams are searching for members of a film crew, swept away by a giant wave while filming a storm on Sunday.

Rescue officials were looking for the pair on Monday off the southwestern coast of Norway. But officials say there is little hope of finding them alive.

One member of the film crew managed to swim to shore on Sunday after swells swept the crew out to sea during a violent storm.

Another man was found dead under a fallen tree after the storm swept across the northern European country.

The violent weather also caused the closure of several roads, ferry services and train lines.

Officials say the storm has caused millions of dollars of damage across Norway.
