The Associated Press reported the figure just before 5:30 a.m. ET on Friday morning, citing deaths reported in the German states of Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia.

Belgian media said at least 12 people had died in the country, the AP reported.

And some 1,300 people in Germany are still missing, the AP reported.
