keithfazzani Posted 1 March , 2010 Share Posted 1 March , 2010 From the news I have seen it appears to have been the Atlantic coast that was worst hit. No mention of damage inland that I have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad at her's,Tom.Dad's,I'll find out tonight. The worst hit seems to be the Vendee*,a place I have worked at several times & not far inland from the coast (as Keith mentions). *si?

Dragon Posted 1 March , 2010 Share Posted 1 March , 2010 There was damage in Strasbourg, electricity losses throughout Alsace, trees down, tiles lost and so on, but no fatalities (to yesterday). Someone has been killed in the Black Forest. Clearly not as awful as the West coast, but enough to be disruptive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was stationed at a Military camp 2009 when we were hit by a very heavy rain storm flooded out the tent lines is causes all kinds of problems.

Michael Johnson Posted 1 March , 2010 Share Posted 1 March , 2010 I too hope all is well. My son and I will be in Normandy, Ypres, Vimy next week with his school. Just look for a two metre tall 16-year-old, and ask him "Stephen, where's your Dad?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianabriggs Posted 3 March , 2010 Share Posted 3 March , 2010 We were in Lille on Sunday and the weather was terrible - icy cold, sheeting rain and high winds as we were touring round battlefield sites. However on Monday when we drove over to Le Treport to visit my uncle's grave at Mont Huon it was absolutely glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
