While Storm Kirk is expected to hit the region in the evening, Wednesday October 9, residents of Manche, Haute-Saône and the southwest are already suffering the consequences of the bad weather.
In Manche, in Bricquebec, a living space was completely covered in mud. A resident was surprised by the flooding of the river on the evening of Tuesday, October 8. She remained totally helpless: “The river rose, it came here suddenly, like a wave”she explains in the living room whose floor is no longer visible.
A neighbor saw water entering her home little by little in the evening. “I don’t understand, every year we ask to do something for the river, we are told that on the coastal level it is impossible”she complains, annoyed by the repeated floods. In Haute-Saône, roads are still impassable on Wednesday October 9.
In Pornic (Loire-Atlantique), Storm Kirk is already bringing a lot of wind and pouring rain. In the southwest, where strong winds are expected, traffic was interrupted as a precaution on certain lines, replaced by buses.
