Pierre ZFP Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Just seen this on the BBC News websitehttp://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/europe/10327034.stmAre you guys all OK down there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 That's so terrible. I'd heard 2 had died last night, increased to 9 this morning, so they're still finding bodies.There'd been a widespread orange warning through the south, up to the Gard, Drome and Ardeche, but were downgraded in the Gard and Ardeche last night. It sounds and looks appalling, just like in 2002. Those poor people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Animal Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'm glad someone posted about it. After the Vendée, it's now the Var. They just said that fifteen people have died. It's terrible to see everythig under water again and people on their roofs.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yllCtdPk_dg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpprh Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 My local news is talking about 20 dead and 12 missing. The serious flooding has been in 06 and 83 this time, but now the weather and flood warnings have been lifted.I am in Languedoc where the 2002 floods hit.We had violent storms last night with about 75mm of rain, but no flood risks.National flood info is here : http://www.vigicrues.ecologie.gouv.fr and my local river is here : http://www.vigicrues.ecologie.gouv.fr/niveau3.php?idspc=20&idstation=55Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Everyone is talking about the storm last night here too Peter. Luckily there seem to have been few problems in the area, unlike the previous day around Draguign. It's good to hear that Sommière didn't have another flood!
