After storms Austen and Boelo, damage and disruption in France
The passage of Storm Austen on 23 and 24 October 2026 caused damage and power outages in several regions, followed by Storm Boelo. From 27 October, residents of Saint-Laurent, in the Côtes-d'Armor, helped each other, while the TER network remained under vigilance in the Nord and Pas-de-Calais and a wall collapsed in the Ardennes. Farmers without electricity blocked an Enedis truck in Vion, in the Sarthe, and the oyster farms in the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel were damaged. In the following days, a weakened electricity pole cut off a road near Corbie, the tramway was restored, trees fell in Glaire and the Orange network suffered disruptions in Bailleul. SNCF announced around fifty disrupted trains in Hauts-de-France for the weekend, while municipal services prepared the Roubaix cemetery for All Saints' Day.
