Story angles

This event does not yet have its own comparison: here is the story's Storm Austen: damage and power outages in several departments.

The three outlets cover power outages and damage caused by Storm Austen, but from different angles: figures and human impact on the left, local cases and mutual aid in the center, and weather warnings and official assessments on the right.
