Heavy floods have forced the evacuation of 1,600 people - most of them campers - in southern France, officials say.

 

They say a 70-year-old German man who was helping to supervise children at one of the summer camps is missing.

The worst-hit areas are Gard, Ardeche and Drome. More than 400 firefighters and police - as well as four helicopters - have been deployed.

The storms which caused the floods come after a period of unusually hot weather in southern France and much of Europe.

According to UK Met Office meteorologist Marco Petagna , almost 3in (8cm) of rain fell in a 24-hour period.

In a statement (in French), the French interior ministry said six departments had been placed on a flood alert, while about 17,000 homes were without power in the south-west and north-east.

All this thanks to human-induced climate change. See “worst in a century” floods in India this week. We’re in the midst of a planetary crisis. Watch nations get to together soon to address this. Perhaps P&S cry once they join hands to make an all out attempt to save the planet.

USA East Coast under more rainfall and flooding, Mid USA, dry as a bone, West (California and Canada) on fire and burning out of control, Europe, flash flooding, heatwaves, Middle East/India heatwaves, flash flooding; Asia, heat waves and heavy rains, flooding, Japan, heatwaves killing elderly and those without air conditioning. Greece on fire, heatwave there as well.    Animals destroyed on land and sea, sea turtles winding up on beaches dead from garbage (plastic bags) and the shores of DR, and another country trash washing up on shores and more trash then they can hull out and put back into the Oceans.  The whole world is engulfed in man made pollution.   Looking forward to the last sentence of Rev. 11:18!
