Storm Alex swept across Brittany overnight, setting all-time high winds.
186 km / h in Belle-Ile, 157 km / h in Groix, 111 in Saint-Nazaire… This storm has been described as a meteorological bomb.
Placed in red vigilance, the Morbihan suffered a lot of damage, including many fallen trees, torn electrical wires, the roof of a college in Vannes soared.
51 municipalities have been impacted and 80,000 households are without electricity.
But this Friday morning, the wind has dropped significantly in the region and the storm is moving to the Southeast. The Alpes-Maritimes were in turn placed in red vigilance "rain flood". 13 departments remain on alert.
