Photos From The Horrific Flood And Storms In French Resort Towns Which Have Killed At Least 19

Horrific storms and flash floods in south-east France have killed 19 people, left thousands of homes without electricity and stranded hundreds of holidaymakers. Entire roads were worn away by waves of muddy water which destroyed peoples' homes, washed away cars and caused widespread travel disruption across the once-pristine region of the French Riviera.


There are fears the death toll could rise even higher as fire crews and ambulances have struggled to reach the worst-affected areas, where 35,000 homes are without power. French President Francois Hollande met with the residents whose houses and lives were destroyed by the natural disaster, today, as ambulance workers began collecting the bodies of those it killed.
