French insurers say cost is hundred of millions of euros
The weekend storm that left 26 dead across southern Europe caused several hundreds of millions of euros in damage in France, insurance companies said..
A better estimate will come in a few days when the true extent of the destruction has become clear, a spokesman for the FFSA federation of French insurers told reporters, Dow Jones reported.
Thousands of workers worked on both sides of the French-Spanish border Monday to restore power and reopen roads and rail lines that were blocked by trees uprooted by the worst storm to hit France and Spain in a decade.
