The Gard, Vaucluse and Herault departments were all hit.  The force of the waters threw vehicles into heaps  The narrow streets of Aramon became waterways  A sombre-looking PM Raffarin flew over the area...  ...to see huge areas of countryside under water  Roads and bridges have been swept away  Residents tried to call for help as the waters rose. AP  Many motorists were caught in the flash floods  The elderly were brought to safety by boat | |
