It was a small, very localized storm that hit Thursday evening, around 7:30 p.m., in Saint-Etienne and more particularly in the north of the city. Gusts of wind swept through the city, carrying waterspouts and even a few hailstones. The episode was very short, barely ten minutes, but of rare violence.
A dozen firefighter interventions
Initially, the damage was limited. The firefighters of the Departmental Fire and Rescue Service of the Loire have identified only a dozen interventions.
The most spectacular consequences concern the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium where the giant screens were literally blown up by gusts of wind.
Internet users react
As soon as the photos of our journalist who was on the spot for the Saint-Etienne Métropole council were put online, the reactions were not long in coming.
Starting with that of Denis Barriol, community councilor and mayor of Genilac.

Let them be reassured because Geoffroy Guichard is a property of the metropolis of Saint-Etienne and not of the ASSE club. It is therefore a safe bet that these repairs will be borne by the community, which may have the opportunity to exercise its insurance.
In any case, time will be pressing because the League championship resumes in just one month. And major events are scheduled in the Cauldron with the Rugby World Cup which will begin on September 8 and four matches of which will take place in the Stéphane stadium.
