The Charente was placed on orange vigilance for storms and Météo France was not mistaken. The department was struck by lightning 2,800 times last night. Out of a total of 13,000 impacts in France. Hailstones as big as marbles fell, episodes of torrential rain and very strong gusts of wind up to 113 km / h in Angoulême or 112 km / h in Cognac.
Flooded station
Charente firefighters had already had to intervene 200 times at midnight, according to our colleagues from Charente Libre. For flooded homes, gutted roofs, trees on the ground, torn cables, and road accidents, without causing any casualties. Floods in particular in the streets of Gensac-la-Pallue, but also in the hall of the SNCF station of Angoulême. The station was able to reopen on Tuesday morning.
