Paris strongly affected by bad weather

Buddles so violent that the trees are cut net. Wednesday 25 June in the evening, the wind swept Paris up to 112 km/h. Devastating, deafening, breathtaking. Tourists only had a few seconds to take shelter. Postcards have disappeared, swallowed up by the stormy mist. When visibility returned, Parisians could only see the damage. Vehicles have been crushed by trees, and for some, the impression of having escaped the worst.

Wind and downwater up to 23 mm, the equivalent of 15 days of rain. In a few minutes, the streets in the south of the capital were flooded. Even on foot, you have to adapt and it is impossible to take refuge in the metro underground. The water has been infiltrated down to the quays. The thunderstorm will only have lasted half an hour, but it will take days to clean the damage.
