From euronews:
"We have people stranded on rooftops. We're going to have to use aircraft to evacuate them because we cannot reach them by boat given the force of the water. It's too dangerous," he said.
Among the worst hit areas were the villages of Conques-sur-Orbiel and Villardonnel, where waters rose as high as the first-floor windows of some houses.
The flash floods struck without warning. At least one victim was swept away by raging waters while sleeping, Thirion said.
In five hours up to 180 millimetres of rain fell in the area around Carcassonne, in between Toulouse and Perpignan, near the Spanish border.
