A sixty-something man was found dead in the Abyss stuck in his car after the violent rains that fell on the archipelago. Heavy rains fell on Guadeloupe overnight from Friday to Saturday. The department had been placed on red alert by Météo France. Residents woke up to flooded areas. Some motorists found themselves trapped by the rising waters reports France Info. The body of a sexagenarian was found in his vehicle in Les Abymes in the center of the island. 311 mm of rain were recorded in 24 hours in this sector. The images that have been posted on social networks testify to the violence of the episode. How not to worry about such an episode of intense and localized rains equivalent to that of a hurricane like Maria in 2017?
The climate change/soil artificialization cocktail in #Guadeloupe plays out and threatens our archipelago.
