Between tonight and this morning, the Haute-Garonne firefighters have already carried out around twenty interventions throughout the department for “falling branches, power lines or street furniture”.
The Tarn rescuers went out four times during the night for wind-related damage and, for the moment, this violent episode has not caused any injuries in the two affected departments where the wind will remain sensitive until the evening.
In the Lauragais, several municipalities are without electricity this Tuesday morning.
