In Pictures: Stormy weather around the world

Water coursed through Cannes, Nice and Antibes on Sunday night (Oct 4), transforming the streets of three of France's most glamorous cities into debris-strewn rivers. At least 16 people were killed in violent storms and floods that struck the chic French Riviera, and four others were missing. Meanwhile in the US state of South Carolina, a state of emergency has been declared after the historic port city was paralysed by flash floods and an unusually high tide. In China, four people were killed on Sunday as Typhoon Mujigae slammed into the coastal city of Zhanjiang, Guangdong, packing winds of up to 180kmh
