“What do you appreciate your apartment when you come back, and get back to your habits”, testifies a resident. After a week of evacuation, it is necessary to do some shopping again. “We obviously lost a little bit in terms of fridges and freezers since there were power cuts”, explains a woman. Everyone sees the damage with despair. “There is nothing left, there is no longer a tree”, says a man. A dozen inhabitants still do not have electricity, Monday August 15th.
