PARIS (AP) – Winds up to 180 kilometers per hour (108 mph) slammed France’s Atlantic coast overnight as Storm Ciaran lashed countries around western Europe, uprooting trees, blowing out windows and leaving 1.2 million French households without electricity Thursday.
Strong winds and rain also battered southern England and the Channel Islands, where gusts of more than 160 kph (100 mph) were reported. Hundreds of schools stayed closed in the coastal communities of Cornwall and Devon as downed trees and flooding hindered morning commutes.

The storm cut power to some 1.2 million French households as of Thursday morning, electrical utility Enedis announced in a statement. That includes about half of the homes in Brittany, the Atlantic peninsula hardest hit by Ciaran. Enedis said it would deploy 3,000 workers to restore power as soon as weather conditions allowed.
In the U.K., transportation agencies agencies also advised residents in parts of southern England to stay home and not travel. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency urged people to keep away from the coast.
“Stay out of dangerous situations,´´ the agency said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. `´A selfie in stormy conditions isn´t worth risking your life for.´´

Quite different than the Katrina pictures.
The water is knee deep, did they really need the boat to save them?

The water is also a lot colder than the Gulf of Mexico.

Your point being? They need a boat because their feet might get cold in their wellies?

But, but, but shouldn’t all those power producing wind turbines have been producing huge amounts of power in those winds?

Being Europe, they probably didn't have the proper licenses to walk in the water.
