Storm Nelson: more than 6,000 homes without electricity in Rhône-Alpes. Replenishment operations are underway.
Several dozen generators are also being transported. Regional rail traffic was disrupted in the morning around Lyon due in particular to falling trees. Gusts of 80/90 km/h, up to 100/110km/h in the Lyon and Saint-Etienne regions, were expected. La Chaîne Météo* placed the departments of Loire, Cantal and Haute-Loire at “significant risk” from violent winds.
