PEYREHORADE, France: Much of southwestern France was on weather alert on Saturday and tens of thousands of homes were without power following gale-force winds and flooding that left one person dead, another missing and five injured.

In Espeins in the Lot-et-Garonne region a man in his seventies was swept away by rising waters when he went out to fetch his mail and has been missing since. Flooding and landslides cut off access to the skiing stations of Gourette and Artouste, while the distribution of drinkable water in the commune of Laruns was interrupted.

A firefighter evacuates a person from a flooded street following heavy rains that led to the flood of the Adour and Echez rivers on Dec 14, 2019 in Maubourguet, south western France. "We put everything on the upper levels, and we clear out everything from the garage," he said.
