- A rare tornado tore through the village of Pomas in southwestern France, damaging about 300 of its 500 houses (100 possibly uninhabitable), evacuating the whole village and injuring dozens — none critically.
- Residents described apocalyptic scenes as homes were reduced to rubble or lost roofs and walls, with many rescued from trapped or damaged houses.
- Meteo-France said winds likely exceeded 200 km/h; tornadoes are uncommon in France and while storms are rising with climate change, a direct link to this tornado is still unclear.
