See latest reports in Presse Océan here and here of the storm (Xynthia) that hit France's Atlantic coast overnight. There have also been storms in parts of Spain and Portugal. Also reports in Ouest-France including a gust of wind of 121 km/h at Martigné-Briand in the Loire.
At least nine deaths reported across France with a million homes without electricity. Probably the most severe storm since the two that hit France in late December 1999.
