A double blade that could be terrible.

Twenty-four hours after the hailstorm which crossed the Gironde on Monday evening, and devastated several municipalities such as Le Taillan-Médoc, the prefecture is calling for vigilance on Tuesday.

Météo-France has just placed the Gironde on orange vigilance for storm phenomena, from 11 p.m. until Wednesday 6 a.m.

"This new stormy episode could be accompanied by potentially violent phenomena: hailstorms, gusts of wind at 80 km / h and heavy rain with local accumulations of up to 30 to 50 mm" warns the prefecture.

“New damage is to be feared locally on homes, in particular on those that were damaged by last night's bad weather, as well as on light habitats and temporary installations.
