Paris Seething as Flood Waters Rise Across City
At 1 o'clock this morning water neared the top of the Douvre quay threatening the Venus de Milo gallery. Subway stations at Berey and surrounding areas flooded as a vast rescue effort labors by gas lamp light to build barriers. Forty houses evacuated and stores abandoned while half the city remains without light. The Seine continues to rise with vast areas underwater and disaster feared to widen, with official damages already mounting. The siege by flood and looming epidemic suggests a catastrophe potentially surpassing national scope.
