Consequences of Storm Austen in northern France

Storm Austen's passage on October 23 and 24, 2026 caused damage and power outages in several departments in northern France. Three days later, Enedis teams were continuing their interventions in the Aisne, while residents of a residence in Péronne were urgently relocated and households in the Manche had been without electricity for four days. The TER network in the Nord and Pas-de-Calais remained under watch, and damage was reported in the Ardennes, the Somme, Ille-et-Vilaine, and Finistère. Farmers in the Sarthe blocked an Enedis truck to denounce the slow restoration, before tram traffic was fully restored and agents remained mobilized in the Lens area.
