The storm Kirk has resulted in over 800 rescue operations and the evacuation of more than 300 individuals.
In Seine-et-Marne, 141 communes faced flooding, with significant damage reported in Crécy-la-Chapelle and Coulommiers.
The Loir-et-Cher region still faces high water levels, particularly in Vendôme, where evacuations were necessary.
