Massive flooding / France is engulfed by bad weather, red alert in six areas

Massive flooding has caused serious damage and power outages in parts of the mountainous south-eastern region of France, after days of heavy rain. There were also no immediate reports of casualties.

Storm Kirk is reported to have unleashed heavy rainfall across France, setting new records and causing widespread flooding. Last month, central Europe was hit by the worst flooding in the area in at least two decades.

While the country is dealing with the consequences, experts warn that such phenomena are expected to become even more frequent. As reported, France's weather authority Meteo France put six departments south of the city of Lyon on red alert for flooding.
