Montpellier had 5 months of rain last night

Our sympathies go out to the Languedoc region who last night received a deluge of rain, 5 months worth in one night. How can street drains cope with that? Well of course they cannot and rivers of mud were sent swirling through the streets. Traffic, trains, cars, planes were all held up as traffic everywhere was halted. The degats and cleaning it all up begins now and 6,000 people who had to leave their homes for safety will be going back to start the sometimes months long work of cleaning and drying out. That region has had a tough time in the last few weeks.
