The Flood Aftermath
The south of France flood hit many towns and villages that caused significant damage to fragile buildings and roadways. In the center of historic Uzès, the biggest problem was water that leaked through walls, windows, and roofs. Villages below Uzès are suffering from flood damage.
The flood event around Uzès was recorded with some amazing photography. Several photos were given to me by friends who asked me to share them with you.

South of France Flood
Around 60 towns in southern France were officially declared natural disaster sites. About 60 municipalities were included in the natural disaster area.
Roads either collapsed or were lifted from the heavy flood waters.
Cars and trucks slid off the roads with torrential downpours.
Remember the poultry farm outside Uzes? The one where Geoffrey and I picked up our Thanksgiving turkey last year?
Here it is, then…

Here it is now …
The birds “flew the coop.” Literally.
The day after the storm was cloudy and misty
The night after the flood, the skies were still ominous.
Then, the bad weather skies gave us a beautiful sunset.

Wine time. Sea shells from South Carolina remind me of storms from the past.
