Massive floods wreaked havoc in parts of southern France's Rhône Valley on Friday after days of relentless rainfall. The mountainous southeast region bore the brunt of the storm, with homes, roads, and infrastructure severely damaged. Power outages have left many residents in the dark as emergency services work tirelessly to restore electricity.

France's meteorological authority, Meteo France, had issued a red flood alert for six departments south of Lyon on Thursday, warning of rising water levels and potential danger. However, by Friday, the situation showed signs of easing as the alert was downgraded to orange, suggesting the worst had passed, and water levels were expected to recede.

Residents are still grappling with the aftermath, and while no casualties have been reported so far, the region faces a long recovery ahead.
