After the storm Ciaran that swept through Brittany at the end of the week, the start of the school year promises to be complicated this Monday, November 6th. Nine high schools will not be able to reopen because of the damage suffered, the region's vice-president in charge of finance, Stéphane Perrin-Sarzier, announced on BFMTV. In Finistère, nine public secondary schools are also concerned, as well as four private and Diwan secondary schools (teaching in the Breton language).
In addition to the damage, some establishments are also waiting for the return of electricity, still cut at 114,000 customers of Enedis this Sunday evening, notes Ouest France.
Storm Ciaran killed 20 people in Europe. Wind gusts of up to 172km/h were recorded, particularly in Finistère, Côtes-d'Armor and Manche, the three most affected departments. It was followed on Saturday by Storm Domingos, which hit further south but still in the west. Eight people were injured, including two firefighters. An Enedis technician also lost his life in Finistère on Saturday during an intervention to restore power.
