At least three people were still missing on Tuesday after the worst flash floods in a century devastated towns and villages in France's southwestern Aude region. The government said it was spending millions of euros to revamp technology at the state weather forecasting agency. Officials originally said 13 people died in the floods that raged from Sunday night to Monday morning. On Tuesday they revised the figures to 11 dead and three people missing.
