Two People Killed and 53,000 Homes Affected by Electricity Outages Due to Thunderstorms in France
French authorities reported the death of two people due to severe thunderstorms that struck several regions, causing widespread damage and power outages to approximately 53,000 homes. A woman was killed after a tree fell on her in the Haut-Vienne region, and a man died inside a workshop following a fire caused by a lightning strike in Isère. The storms, accompanied by winds speeds of 80 to 100 kilometers per hour, led to power outages as trees fell on power lines. This occurred after prior warnings from the French meteorological agency, which had increased their alerts for severe storms following a previous heatwave.
