  abstract = {{O}n 2 {O}ctober 2020, the {M}aritime {A}lps in southern {F}rance were struck by the devastating {S}torm {A}lex, which caused locally more than 600 mm of rain in less than 24 h. {T}he extreme rainfall and flooding destroyed regional rain and stream gauges. {T}hat hinders our understanding of the spatial and temporal dynamics of rainfall-runoff processes during the storm. {H}ere, we show that seismological observations from permanent seismic stations constrain these processes at a catchment scale. {T}he analysis of seismic power, peak frequency, and the back azimuth provides us with the timing and velocity of the propagation of flash-flood waves associated with bedload-dominated phases of the flood on the {V}esubie {R}iver. {M}oreover, the combined short-term average to long-term average ratio and template-matching earthquake detection reveal that 114 local earthquakes between local magnitude {M}-{L} = -0.5 and {M}-{L} = 2 were triggered by the hydrological loading and/or the resulting in situ underground pore pressure increase. {T}his study shows the impact of {S}torm {A}lex on the {E}arth's surface and deep-layer processes and paves the way for future works that can reveal further details of these processes.},
