At least four people died in France after Storm Adam triggered widespread flooding across southern regions on 21 October. Two women, aged 86 and 26, were discovered drowned in a cellar within the Bouches-du-Rhône region.
Floodwaters swept away a 4x4 vehicle, resulting in the death of one man. Dozens of residents were moved to emergency shelters in Mouriès and Saint-Martin-de-Crau, where one person sustained injuries.
Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot confirmed that the flooding disrupted roads and train lines in the area. Jacques Witkowski stated, "The water has risen to unprecedented levels," and added, "We are mobilised at an exceptional level to resolve several issues."
Météo-France issued an orange-level wind warning for five western departments from the evening of 23 October into 24 October. Storm Adam also killed at least three people in eastern Spain.
Rescue operations on 20 October uncovered a woman's body in Oliva, Valencia. Two other women were confirmed dead over the weekend in Spain, including one woman whose body washed up on a beach in Sagunto, in the eastern region of Valencia.
A woman was also swept away by floodwaters in Cabrera de Mar, near Barcelona. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez promised national government resources for reconstruction in the Valencia region on 21 October.
The Valencian government approved an aid package of €23.5m for those affected by Storm Adam on 21 October.
