In case you haven't heard there have been torrential downpours in the South of
France with maybe as many as 19 dead according to some reports.

It is tragic but the news coverage has produced some amazing shots. I
particularly like number 9 in the following sequence:

In Cannes 190 mm (about 8 ins) fell in 7 hours with about 100mm (4 ins) between
6 and 7pm. It looks like a number of people were killed trying to get their cars
to safety in underground car parks.
