Lozère and Gard are still on orange alert for the risk of rain-flooding this Tuesday morning. Up to 80 liters of water fell on one square meter during the night from Monday to Tuesday, locally between the Cévennes and Aubrac, according to Météo France. Heavy precipitation which swells the watercourses, all on yellow alert, moreover..
Pierre-Yves Valentin is forecaster in Vigicrue. He was live at 6 a.m. on France Bleu Gard Lozère: ” Yellow alert, so the waterways are reacting, but these are moderate phenomena. (..) We can expect to see local overflows in areas that are typically flooded; it’s a completely classic phenomenon for the season.”
“We are on climbs which are often several meters, 1 meter or 2 easily. So significant climbs when you are close to the river”
THE reactions last night were moderatethe rains were relatively heavy in the upstream sector of the rivers, therefore north of Anduze, Alès, in the Bessèges sector. But there is still rain forecast for the morning. We remain on yellow alert on these waterways until the end of the morning.”
For the moment we have remained at very reasonable levels, so no particular damage to our knowledge. But it’s to be continued in the hours to come“
Be careful, therefore, if you take the road. Besides, two submersible bridges are closed to traffic. That of Chamborigaud, the temporary bridge, on the departmental 906, cut preventively at 7 p.m. this Monday evening. Access also prohibited for that of the route de l’Ecluse, in Anduze, on the D129A.
