Heavy rainfall from former Hurricane Leslie triggered deadly flash flooding in the Aude region of southern France from Sunday night into Monday morning.
At least 13 people have been killed in flash floods that were triggered by several months' worth of rain that fell in just a few hours, according to AFP. Several victims were reportedly swept away by the torrent of water while sleeping.
The city of Carcassonne received 141 mm (5.6 inches) of rain during the deluge. This is more than 200 percent of the normal monthly rainfall for all of October.
