“We were quiet on the terrace with the family and suddenly the wind started blowing: the chairs started flying. We were going to go inside and I saw that the roof was moving like it was bending”, related Paris-Normandy Bruno Dubuque, a resident of Motteville, replicates the movement with his hands. Around 3:30 p.m., the roof of this 40-year-old home was literally blown off by what firefighters called a “mini-tornado.”
Bruno Dubuque’s nephew received a Barnum strap on his head. Firefighters took him to Rouen University Hospital where he received six stitches. Other injuries are nothing to worry about. A snack in the village hall. Other roofs were badly damaged in the town of 800 people. As well as the neighboring town of Flamenville. Trees fell in both municipalities and in Ecalles-Alix. “In total, 45 firefighters and 12 vehicles were mobilized for around thirty interventions in the sector”, Commander Christoph Margrid described.
