France - The litany of flash floods caused by extraordinarily heavy rainfall in 2014 grew even longer Monday after record-shattering rainfall struck one of southern France's largest cities. Montpellier, a city of 264,000 along France's Mediterranean coast, was hit with 252 millimetres (9.92 inches) of rain in just 3 hours, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. local time (9 a.m. and noon EDT in the U.S.). The exceptionally heavy rain flooded streets and quickly sent the river Lez out of its banks in the city centre. As of 8 p.m. local time, the city had tallied 295.6 millimetres (11.63 inches) of rain for the day, amounting to 47 percent of the city's average annual rainfall of 24.77 inches.
