Overview
- Météo-France placed Drôme and Vaucluse on orange flood vigilance at least through Friday, urging caution for travel and local activity.
- Vigicrues signaled a significant flood on the Aygues/Eygues with the possibility of locally damaging overflows.
- At Nyons, the river rose from about 1.78 m around 1:00 to 2.33 m by 4:00, reflecting the rapid overnight surge on saturated ground.
- Divers located the swept-away vehicle buried in sand but found no bodies, and searches remain dangerous as the river is still high.
- Firefighters carried out 32 interventions mainly in Pierrelatte, and five other departments were placed on yellow vigilance for flood risk with potential transport disruptions.
