So far, a total of four people have been killed in severe storms in southeastern France. A body was found Monday morning. The dead man could be a father who has been missing since Saturday. There is no trace of his two children.
The reason for the storm was the depression “Monica”, which caused heavy rains and flooding last weekend. Rain caused a landslide in Nice.
Storm warning, avalanche danger in the Alps
Severe weather warnings were still in force in several regions on Monday and there was a risk of avalanches in some Alps. Several thousand households north of Nice in the border region with Italy were temporarily without power this weekend.
Cars swept away by floods
Authorities reported three deaths on Sunday. Two people were found in a car. The third victim was swept away by the water in his SUV in Gagnières, also near Avignon, early on Saturday evening. The man wanted to cross an already closed bridge by car, “Le Figaro” reported. Another prisoner was able to save himself. Seven people had previously been reported missing.
