Moissac Flood Kills Over 100 In France Disaster
Moissac, France, reports say more than 100 residents died when the Yarn river flooded through a broken dike after midnight.

The Garonne and Agout rivers rose, areas of Cadillac and Villemur evacuated, and a spaghetti factory trapped workers before being freed. The city’s power and lights were destroyed, with extensive property loss and a factory damage estimate of 4,000.0% francs.
