The area endured 7 inches of rain in 90 minutes yesterday. Areas of Cannes, Nice, Biot, Antibes and Vallauris are flooded. Several people died trapped in underground garages and road underpasses. If you have immediate travel plans to the area you might want to check with your hotel. Flights to Nice have resumed, but train transport has not as of now.

Two links are from French newspapers, but you can check out the pictures even if your French is not great.
