Lightning will not have struck twice in the same place.
After Thursday's deadly thunderstorms, and as a new episode of low pressure loomed in Corsica, the prefectures proceeded Thursday evening to "shelter" 12,500 tourists in gymnasiums and schools on the island.
Fortunately, the thunderstorms from Thursday night to Friday turned out to be of an intensity not comparable to those of the day before which caused the death of five people.
To succeed in this operation, the authorities mobilized the army, as in Calvi, in the north of the island, where soldiers from the foreign legion evacuated entire families of tourists at nightfall, using military trucks. .
This Friday, calm returned to the bereaved island, and the authorities did not report any notable intervention on Friday morning.
Corsica can finally breathe.
