Summary:Rescue workers in south-eastern France virtually gave up hope on September 24 of finding about 50 people swept away in flash floods and fierce storms that ravaged the region during the previous night. At least 32 people were found dead after rivers in the Ardeche, Drome and Vaucluse regions burst their banks, creating torrents of mud and water that devastated towns and campsites, toppled trees and houses and swept away cars and caravans.
