The rest after this announcement
Fifteen people died in France then. At the end of December 1999, during the memorable hurricanes Lothar and Martin, 92 people died in our country. This time the casualties will be less severe, even though two people died: a truck driver killed by a falling tree in Resson-le-Long (Aisne) and a 70-year-old man who fell from a ground-floor balcony in Le Havre (Maritime Sena) at the same time wants to close his shutters. The storm left fifteen minor injuries, including seven firefighters, and one seriously injured in Roubaix (North). “Despite the severity of this storm, we have limited the loss of life,” Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said.
