South-Western France Damaged By Flooding

France has been dealing with horrible flooding after officials say that month's worth of rain fell within hours overnight this week. The rain caused the River Aude to flood tremendously, and had already killed ten people. Some residents are angry about the lack of warning given about the large amounts of rainfall and the flooding. The flooding has caused seven helicopters and 700 emergency response personnel to be deployed. Reports say that in some areas, flood waters reached twenty-three feet. Many schools and tourist attractions have been closed until the waters lower.
