A very violent Mediterranean episode, an indirect consequence of hurricane Leslie, causes exceptional flash floods in the Aude, with accumulations of exceptional rains (295 mm in Trèbes in 12 hours, close to 300 mm in Carcassonne), which kill 15 people (including 9 in Trèbes). The city of Trèbes and the villages of Villegailhenc, Villalier, Villardonnel and Saint-Couat-d'Aude are ravaged. This is the worst flood in the region since 1999.
