Storms in southern France claim three lives

A severe storm named Adam struck southern France, specifically affecting the cities of Arles and Saint-Martin-de-Crau in the Bouches-du-Rhone department, resulting in three deaths. Local authorities reported that approximately 250 people were evacuated to shelters due to significant flooding, which submerged basements and caused widespread power outages affecting thousands of homes. The weather event also disrupted transportation by blocking numerous roads and severing rail connections. The victims include a 75-year-old man who died in Saint-Mitre-les-Rmparts and two women found deceased in a building basement in Lancon-Provence. This storm follows similar destructive weather patterns recently experienced in eastern Spain.
