It rained a lot again this late night in certain sectors of the Creuse, causing flooding and landslides in the Genouillac, Bonnat and Tercillat sector.

This Friday, June 21, firefighters were at work between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. on this perimeter in the north of Creuse for interventions on flooded cellars and garages. Some residents are still discovering the damage linked to the floods this early morning.

On its Facebook page, Météo Creuse announces cumulative rains of 45 mm in Bonnat and 48 mm in Genouillac. The Petite Creuse is still out of its bed, reaching 3.45 m this morning, an increase. It reached 3.82 meters Thursday morning.

The gendarmes and teams from the Departmental Council also had to intervene on roads cut by falling branches and small landslides. Traffic may be slowed down on certain roads in the north of Creuse around Petite Creuse.

In Guéret, the rains also caused some damage, particularly to certain businesses. The Garat’à crêpes creperie, at the bottom of the Grande rue, was flooded and is not authorized to reopen until further notice. Since yesterday, water has seeped through the walls to the electric meter and sockets.

The Solidarité Entraide 23 association announces the exceptional closure of its store in Saint-Sulpice-le-Guérétois, Saturday June 22 due to flooding.

Bursts of precipitation are still forecast today, particularly this afternoon, they should bring significant accumulations under the storm cells.
