In Pas-de-Calais, where more than 2,000 houses were flooded, it is now the cold which is frightening local residents. They are afraid of seeing the frost cause significant damage.
In Montreuil-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais), there were a few brave people who crossed the flooded streets on Friday January 5. Around the town, the water is just starting to recede. What worries Bruno Vasseur, a resident whose garden was flooded, is the approach of cold weather in the coming days. “That’s a disaster. If everything freezes there, it could cause the walls to crack, everything.”he fears.
The decline begins slowly
The interior of his house was spared, but all his firewood in the cellar was drowned, he had to bring some back urgently. He goes to look for him with a boat. With the return of cold weather, many fear that humidity will set in. Even with knee-deep water, some residents go out every day to go to work. Michael Roquet, maintenance worker, travels by bike and he too fears the arrival of frost. The rain, on the other hand, should stop in the coming days.
