Overview
- Météo-France ended orange vigilance nationwide on Friday after Haute-Corse was downgraded in the morning.
- Enedis said outages fell from roughly 140,000 at Thursday’s peak to about 38,000 by evening and to under 500 by Friday night after a large field deployment.
- The storm caused one death in Haute-Corse when a German tourist was swept away in the Fango river, and officials reported a seriously injured firefighter and several minor injuries elsewhere.
- Regional rail saw widespread suspensions and slowdowns on Thursday while most TGVs ran, with some coastal ferries canceled and beach and park closures due to dangerous surf and wind.
- Gusts topped 100 km/h across much of France with peaks measured at 161 km/h in Fécamp and up to around 160–170 km/h on Cap Corse, alongside a marked risk of coastal submersion at high tide.
