Grand Morin, usually a pretty and bouncy river 118 km long, burst its banks on Tuesday. Result: 60 cm of water in the lowest point of the town center and up to 1.50 m in a Sainfouin hamlet.
Sixty-five people were evacuated, including 55 migrants housed in a center administered by the Red Cross. “We are down to the nearest millimeter of rainfall. We are really at risk,” says Jouy-sur-Morin mayor.
