Gros dégâts et orages et rafales de vent.

Says it all the heading, throughout the region the storm hit with strong wind, giving cuts in electricity, bringing down trees and in certain instances causing flooding. Some festivals were cancelled as at Cahors , and the Festival at Rodez came to an end with strong winds,  trees came down and crushed cars at Molieres in the Tarn and Garonne and the Lot suffered " degats" with hail. In the Haute Marne 30 people were injured when a huge tent/ marquee lifted from the ground and then crashed down again with the crowds still inside.
Phew! Everyone here people and pets were safe and dry, hens ran home, donkeys galloped to their dry shed, dogs and cats hid in the house, all except Bonny the golden retriever who thought running about spashing in the puddles was much better than all that sunny weather.
