Dramatic photos of flooded Paris as the Seine overflows

In Paris, the Seine is flooding. 

After heavy rains, the river's water level hit around 16 feet on Tuesday, a city official told The Washington Post. It could reach 19.5 feet by the end of the week. On a normal day, it's about 6.5 feet. River cruises and the commuter rail line that runs along the Seine have been shut down.
