Storm Herminia has caused severe flooding in northwest France, marking the worst in 40 years, with hundreds evacuated and over 2,300 homes losing power, according to Bloomberg and Meteo France.
- The storm also triggered dangerous avalanche conditions in the Alps, prompting heightened warnings across France, Spain, and Portugal.
- Meteo France issued red alerts for three departments in Brittany, warning people to stay away from rivers, low-lying areas and bridges after back-to-back storms caused waterways to overflow.
The most severe flooding is expected along the Vilaine and Seiche rivers, the forecaster said.
