- Weather Toulouse (@ Meteo2Toulouse) August 10, 2020The Thunderclap scared me super, especially with the echo. I felt like it was a blast like AZF. Especially the echo we heard. I wanted to hide in a room without a window, but I wasn't keen enough #Toulouse
- AnnaLoves5SOS (@PollyTrevis) August 10, 2020The explosion occurred in the Compans-Caffarelli district, towards the Brienne canal. And it had nothing to do with an explosion, since it was a lightning strike, while the Toulouse metropolitan area had suffered violent thunderstorms since Sunday evening. Occurring at 4:13 precisely, it was recorded at an intensity of 58.5 kiloamperes according to Météo France.
