A tornado rages in southwestern France: dozens injured and hundreds of damaged homes
A powerful tornado struck southwestern France, damaging about 300 homes in the commune of Pomas and injuring more than 40 people. The storm hit the settlement on Monday, and the next day rescuers found two people under the rubble who had been considered missing.
France 24 reports that wind speeds during the storm reached 117 km/h. In part of the Occitanie region, thunderstorms prompted an orange level of danger, and emergency services continued to work in the affected areas.
