Why It Matters
The Haute-Corse department is experiencing turbulent weather with significant amounts of rain and strong winds.
The department of Haute-Corse has been placed on orange flood alert by Météo-France from 4 p.m., Thursday, November 12. Météo-France justifies this shift to vigilance by the "unsettled weather" affecting the south-east of the country, "occasionally significant accumulations of rain" and a "strong wind" in Corsica.
A significant flood is underway on the Tavignano river, with a “strong rapid rise expected in the afternoon into the evening, high flood for the season”, specifies the Vigicrues website. “This flood will spread downstream and should cause damaging overflows from this Thursday afternoon across the entire river.”
