France Cannes Floods

The mayor of France's glitzy Cannes resort appealed to the world's movie and music stars today to help rebuild the town after it was hit by deadly floods earlier this month.

At least 16 people were killed in violent storms and flooding that struck the chic French Riviera overnight, with three people still missing, President Francois Hollande said on Sunday.

Violent floods along the French riviera killed 12 people by early Sunday, emergency responders and local officials said, including three who drowned in a retirement home inundated when a river broke its banks
