Collioure on French TV with spectacular waves

Collioure with waves being whipped up by the wind, quite different images to the summer calm.
There’s been 700 mm of rain (more than 27 inches) in just four days. Imagine: a year’s rain in less than a week – and the rain in the Hérault could continue for another week yet.
It’s the top news item on French national TV at moment : vigilance aux inondations. Beware of the flooding in the Hérault.  500 people have been evacuated, and 1,000 more may be asked to leave for safety reasons.
