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.

Category 1 Atlantic hurricane

Hurricane Leslie was the strongest post-tropical cyclone to strike the Iberian Peninsula since 1842. A large, long-lived, and very erratic tropical cyclone, Leslie was the twelfth named storm and sixth hurricane of the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season. The storm had a non-tropical origin, developing from an extratropical cyclone that was situated over the northern Atlantic on 22 September.
