Paris Under Water: Unprecedented Storm Unleashes Chaos and Flooding in the Capital

Paris Hit by Unprecedented Storm: City Grapples with Flooding and Damage PARIS, France – An extraordinary and intense storm swept across Paris last night, bringing torrential rain, powerful winds, and widespread disruption to the French capital. The severe weather, which began around 9 PM, saw the sky darken rapidly as a deluge descended upon the city, accompanied by wind gusts reaching up to 112 kilometers per hour. Streets quickly transformed into raging rivers, trapping numerous motorists and forcing pedestrians to abandon their vehicles and wade through knee-deep water. Eyewitnesses described the scene as “terrifying” and “unbelievable,” with one resident remarking, “It felt like being on the beaches of Ouistreham in Normandy.” The storm's impact extended to Paris's vital public transport network. Metro stations, including Musée d'Orsay, experienced significant flooding, with water cascading down stairwells and onto platforms, leading to widespread delays and cancellations across multiple lines. On the roads, sections of the Parisian ring road were closed, and several access ramps were rendered impassable due to the high water levels. Beyond the flooding, the sheer force of the wind uprooted numerous trees across the city, blocking roads and narrowly missing vehicles. City services have been working tirelessly since the early hours to clear the debris and assess the full extent of the damage. Officials anticipate that cleanup efforts will require many hours of work to restore normalcy to the affected areas.
