If the entire Charente was swept away by Thursday's winds, the Limousin Charente was the most affected. “The north-east of the department was located in the corridor of the storm blowing up the Vienne,” indicates Laurent Liguori, territorial director of Enedis. In Exideuil, for example, there was no more electricity this Thursday afternoon as well as in part of the commune of Terres de Haute Charente. “The teams are on site, the on-call duties have been doubled and we have been in pre-mobilization for 48 hours,” adds Laurent Liguori. It is difficult at the moment to say when the situation will be restored. Because as long as the wind is still blowing: “we are not taking the risk of exposing our teams. »

A tree at the Soyaux health center
Furthermore, bad weather, with heavy rain and gusts, caused trees to fall, particularly in Charente Limousin and in Exideuil sur Vienne. More precisely at the place called Chez Bottat as well as near the cemetery. Agents from the Department and the municipality were working to free the tracks. On the D165, five trees fell between Exideuil and La Péruse. They were cleared in the afternoon.
Roads were also obstructed by trees on the Benest side, but also between Alloue and Confolens or even in Massignac on the D163B as well as between Saint-Coutant and Ambernac. The Charente Department recorded around a hundred interventions carried out by these teams throughout the day. It is also about facilitating the work of Enedis in order to restore the power lines.
Finally, at midday, a tree fell on the Soyaux health center at the Maneuver field, without causing any injuries. Patients were still able to be received through another entrance.
