Stormy Europe, Again

A microburst whomps part of Paris earlier this week.  
More storms have swept through parts of western Europe over the past few days, continuing a very stormy year in that neck of the woods.

The worst of it was in southern France, where a flash flood swept through a campsite and other areas, killing at least four people.

As much as 18 inches of rain fell in one town within about 36 hours, which is about half a normal year's worth of rain.

Elsewhere, hail fell in torrents around Florence, Italy, as you can see in this video:
