Apart from a few trees and chimney pots blown off, Carcassonne escaped La Tempête very lightly. Gusts of up to 80mph raged through the streets of Carcassonne last Saturday, followed by heavy rain. Some people lost their electricity for up to three days but again we were very fortunate in that respect.Apparently, further south, places like Toulouse and the northern part of Spain suffered the worst of the storm with a considerable amount of damage and unfortunately some deaths!
It has been ten years since the last storm of this ferocity. For further pictures of the damage the storm reaped across France and Spain see the link below.
