More...Extreme Weather.. Deadly flash floods hit southern France rains have caused havoc in France At least 19 people have been killed by flash floods in south-eastern France, officials say. Several others have been reported missing after torrential rain hit the mountains above the Cote D'Azur region on Tuesday. A number of towns in the department of Var were affected, with hundreds of homes flooded. Meteo France, the national weather service, said up to 40cm (15.7in) of rain had fallen since Tuesday. Meterologists say the floods are the worst in the region since 1827. About 2,000 rescue workers have been drafted into affected regions around Draguignan - the worst-hit area - near the Mediterranean coast to help those trapped in their vehicles or houses. 'Devastated' Water levels were said to be falling slightly in Draguignan on Wednesday, though the rain was continuing in nearby Roquebrune and Frejus. Meteo France has warned of further storms on Wednesday night. "We have never seen so much rain in the month of June," Patrick Galois of Meteo France told the AFP news agency.
