A few hours before the arrival on the coast of storm Floriane, Météo-France has just placed four of the six departments of the Centre-Val de Loire region on orange alert: Indre-et-Loire (37), Loir -et-Cher (41), Loiret (45) and Eure-et-Loir (28):
“Sunday, at the end of the night, storm Floriane enters the territory from the coasts of Vendée. It is accompanied by gusts of around 90 to 100 km/h. We can occasionally reach 110 km/h. It shifts towards the Paris region during the morning then towards the north-eastern regions at the start of the afternoon, then quickly evacuating towards Belgium Aggravating factor: the soil. saturated with water following the rains of recent days make the vegetation more sensitive to the wind.”

This stormy episode, relatively intense but short-lived, can have certain consequences: power and/or telephone outages, damaged roofs and chimneys, broken tree branches. On the road, vehicles can shift andTraffic may be disrupted, particularly on the secondary network in forest areas.
The Météo-France bulletin is accompanied by the usual behavioral advice:
- Limit your travel. Limit your speed on roads and motorways, particularly if you are driving a vehicle or vehicle sensitive to the effects of wind.
- Don't walk in the forest.
- In town, be vigilant of possible falling objects.
- Do not work on roofs and under no circumstances touch electrical wires that have fallen to the ground.
Store or secure objects that are sensitive to the effects of wind or likely to be damaged.
The city of Tours has already announced the closure of its parks on Monday January 6 :
“Public parks and gardens will be temporarily closed in anticipation of the expected strong gusts of wind and possible impacts on trees. The services will check the condition of the sites and secure them before reopening to the public.”
The department of Eure-et-Loir, for its part, is also subject to yellow vigilance for the risk of flooding in the upstream Eure basin (classic winter flood in this season):
“The accumulations of rain observed during the night from Saturday 04/01 to Sunday 05/01 lead to an increase in water levels in the upstream Eure section. Precipitation expected today (05/01) and tomorrow (06/01) will reinforce this increase.
It is therefore advisable to be careful near watercourses and flood-prone areas, and especially not to take a submerged route, whether on foot or by car.
