| the fire-flood sequence la séquence incendie-inondation Explanation: - -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days2 hrs (2007-02-18 13:01:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I cannot see any ref. This is just an expression which, when translated, needs to retain its original meaning, i.e, heavy rainfall coming just after fire is the cause of the debris flows. "Le passage du feu" is not enough here. |
