Bad weather caused major flooding in several areas in southern France on Tuesday, May 20th, 2025, causing significant damage and deaths in the bar department. More than 250 mm of water fell between 7:50 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. in the district of Cavalier, La Leandu. This is a record accumulation of water that caused significant damage in this area. The municipalities of Lavendu and Laamel were particularly affected with roads flooded and water and electricity supplies cut off. By 4 p.m. the death toll had reached 3. Significant rescue resources were deployed with 200 firefighters, reinforcements from neighboring departments and civil security. Firefighters were organized into flood groups and swift water rescue units to carry out rescue and safety missions for residents in the area. The VAR fire department said that the extent of the damage is being assessed. A bridge was damaged in Cavalier in Laandu and traffic could not continue. The Cavalier district suffered the greatest damage from the strong currents. In Lamel, the river overflowed, flooding parks, the airport and houses. This also happened in Vabin with the industrial area affected. In the morning, the FR alert system was triggered in the affected towns to urge the population to respect the security measures communicated by the VAR prefecture. The VAR department was placed on orange alert on Tuesday until 2 p.m. Matteo France had anticipated this stormy episode, although it was much stronger than expected. Five departmental roads were still closed to traffic at 4:15 p.m. according to data from the VAR department. The Levandu and male sectors are particularly complicated and in particular the bridge on the road 559 on the heights of Cavalier in Lavandu. We are deeply shocked by the scale of the natural disaster that struck the Cavalier district this morning and caused the death of an elderly person who lived in the Cabalor residence on Avenue D. Her husband is still missing said Mayor Leandu.
