PARIS, 9th January, 2026 (WAM) — Strong winds battered France on Friday as Storm Goretti hit northern Europe, leaving hundreds of thousands of households without power, Reuters reported.

In France, some 380,000 households lost power, mostly in the Normandy region and in Brittany, the Enedis power provider said.
