Storm damage in the area, it is a warm wind tho!

Hello Val,
had a lot of storm damage here last night due to the strong 'vent d'autan' - pool pergola down, pool cover and metal roller in the pool, trees down etc.
Here's some links to news articles that say that the Tarn is still on orange alert today and 30,000 homes without electricity in the Midi-Pyrenees region. (4,500 in Aveyron alone)
