The first observations of this new stormy depression are already perceptible in the department with significant amounts of precipitation. Namely, 44 millimeters fell in 24 hours in the Mont-de-Marsan sector or even 36.6 millimeters in Bélus. The Souprosse region is also heavily rained with a total of 34.6 millimeters, or 33.6 millimeters in Retjons.
Dax is not spared from this wave of depressions with a cumulative 25 millimeters. In Léon, Hossegor and even Bégaar, the accumulations also exceed 20 millimeters.
Hail
High intensity storms crossed the Landes at the start of the night with localized hail in certain places such as Saint-Cricq-en-Chalosse or Bergouey, according to the testimony of some of our readers. “We had hailstones the size of marbles,” says a woman from Landes who had a difficult night. “We’re waiting for daylight to see the damage,” says another user.
On the road network, although no information has yet been given on the closure of certain routes, there are numerous testimonies to share the difficulties. For example, on the Saint-Cricq – Pujo-le-Plan road, part of the road is flooded and a car found itself in difficulty at the end of the night.
On the Vigicrues side, the Bec du Gave has been placed on yellow alert with an already significant rise in its level. Other rivers should experience repercussions from this repeated rain, with the situation expected to be further deteriorated this Thursday, October 17.
