Yes, the last couple of days in Correze have been pretty exceptional.
Highest indicated gust here yesterday was 33 mph, and today 38 mph.
Branches down everywhere, and high sided vehicles banned from local
motorways, if the long queues of lorries around Brive was anything to
go by. Heavy continuous rain both days (and snow today), resulting in
all the streams and rivers being in spate and flooding adjacent
fields, roads and property. Not quite the tempête of 1999, but pretty
scary even so.
