With the precipitation of recent days, 12 mm since Saturday January 4, the level of rivers is rising. The Woigot and the Orne are placed on yellow alert by Vigicrue, the government platform for monitoring watercourses. If the decline began in places around 6 p.m., vigilance remains essential.
Plus 1 m for the Woigot, overflows to be expected on the Orne
The Woigot height measuring station, located near the Aster hotel in Briey, recorded a rise of more than one meter this Sunday, January 5. At 5 p.m., it reached its highest height of the day, 2.28 m, compared to 1.07 ten hours earlier. The municipality anticipates and protects the flood zones of the lake car park with barriers along the banks.
On the Jarny side, the Orne has also been swelling visibly since 7 a.m. Vigicrue forecasts a peak for Monday January 6 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. before stagnating for several days on a high plateau.
