Relentless rains falling across Europe over the last week caused the waters of the Seine to burst their banks in the heart of Paris and sent flash floods roaring through towns in southern Germany, crushing cars and houses in their path.
The rains began falling in parts of western Europe on May 26, thanks to a large low pressure system that parked over the area. The situation played out slightly different in France and Germany: While small thunderstorms popped up across southern Germany and dumped rain over small areas, more widespread rains fell for days across northern France.
