Raging floods surge through street in south of France

Raging torrents of water gush through residential streets after heavy rain caused flash floods in Cassis, southern France on Wednesday evening August 17.

The downpours across the country came following a recent heatwave. Weather group Meteo France measured one month's worth of rain in a single hour. The meteorological station on the Eiffel Tower in Paris recorded wind speeds of up to 65 miles per hour.
