Talk:2010 Var floods

"the" Var

Just a quick note for editors who may not be not fluent in French: the département is "the Var", just as you might say "the Côte d'Azur". There's no problem with the title, but I've had to correct problems in the text. Physchim62 (talk) 15:11, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Flash flood?

Is this a flash flood or not? --Kslotte (talk) 15:29, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

There were instances of flash floods as well as more generalised flooding. Similar to that at Boscastle and Lynmouth initially. Mjroots (talk) 15:48, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Could be somehow reflected in the article. --Kslotte (talk) 22:23, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

It was in the artice, ref#1 specifically mentions it in its title. Lede expanded to include flash floods. Mjroots2 (talk) 07:06, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Local media

The local newspaper in the region is Var-Matin. The website can be expected to have excellent coverage of the floods and should provide rich pickings for expanding the article. Mjroots (talk) 15:30, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Rainfall

This edit changed the rainfall from cm to mm, with the quote that it is normally measured in mm. The thing is, the source states in cm, so shouldn't we stick with the source. BTW, where I come from, we measure rainfall in inches (or occasionally in feet and inches). Mjroots2 (talk) 08:05, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
