Sommieres bar in danger


We popped over to Sommieres this afternoon and amongst other things checked the state of the river. It's been raining for over 24 hours and a lot of the small bridges around us are deep under water. The picture above shows the Vidourle in full flood about 2 to 3 metres higher than normal. Under that raging torrent there's a footbridge that we normally use to get to our favourite watering hole. If it doesn't stop raining soon, then Elie's bar will be under water. What will we do then?

I've seen Elie today. He has escaped problems with the weather - but is keeping a close watch on the meteo !
