A major late winter storm brought a swath of damage to France on Monday afternoon. From Britanny in the northwest, to Auvergne and the Rhone-Alpes regions in the southeast, storm Zeus, as it was known in Europe, brought winds of more than 190 kilometres per hour and torrential rain.
It was reported that a gust of 193km/h happened in Camaret, Britanny. Other reported winds were lower, but still impressive: 173km/h on Mont Aigoual, the highest point of the Massif Central, 159km/h at Cap Camarat, between Nice and Toulon, and 169km/h at Cap Corse on the island of Corsica.
