by Zivka Deleva


You don't mess around with Her Majesty, the Nature. She knows how to give you a lot, but to take from you, as well. At one moment you are peacefully enjoying your coffee on the terrace with sea view, and the next moment your house is gone and you as well, from the earth. I am sorry for being obscure on the subject, but that's the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The southern parts of France are been flooded. Twenty people have lost their lives and few are missing, due to the tremendous rains that provoked floods. The disaster happened in the Draguignan area. Immediate mobilization was organized, hundreds of people were saved from. Everybody is surprised and shocke! d in he Var department. Such a bad weather is not remembered in years. And the number of the affected people is not something to move away. Around 200,000 homes stayed without electricity. Another 300 people that travelled by train from Nice to Lille, were caught in trap due to the rising waters. Few train lines have already been ceased till the next week, on the area between Toulon and Saint-Raphael. State's officials gave their compassion to the families of the victims, promising to do anything that is needed for the consequences to be more acceptable. Since Tuesday, more than 30 cm rain have fallen in the 40,000 residents town. More than one thousand people helped in the evacuation process. "This morning, we woke up to find a city that was devastated, extremely battered with overturned cars floating in the streets, collapsed roads and gutted houses. We are still in the rescue phase before moving on to the cleanup" - said the head of the emergency operation Corrine ! Orzechowski.
