THE WEEK, Page 21WORLDFrance's Tragic Turn
France's worst storm ever recorded continued a string of
worldwide storm disasters this month. Flash floods drowned crops
and damaged buildings and roads, leaving at least 38 people
dead. An additional 80 were injured or missing, and thousands
were evacuated from the popular Southeastern region of Vaucluse,
where most of the death and destruction occurred. "It's an
indescribable tragedy," said Mayor Claude Haut of
Vaison-la-Romaine, an ancient Roman town of 5,000 people 25
miles north of the city of Avignon, where 23 died.
