Rob Lowe's European holiday in the South of France took an unexpected turn!

The actor and his family had to be evacuated from their vacation house in Grasse, France after a violent storm submerged the entire first floor of their residence in floodwaters. According to reports, three months' worth of rain fell in less than four hours.

The West Wing star shared a pic on Instagram of the raging water. "This is right outside the house. Was twice as high at the worst, just before sunrise," he wrote.
