Not a dam, part II
On the Belledonne side of the valley, things are apparently still quite a mess. Vincent told me this morning that 300 firefighters are coming in to help clean up some of the streets and railways, and to channel the water away from people's homes and businesses.
The SNCF didn't have any information posted about this. My train was late, then stopped at the station in Tencin, where busses waited to take people further. I guess either they don't have much more information than anybody else, or the people with information are already doing what they can dealing with the situation and don't have time to let anybody not directly involved know.
Vincent says the information in his town has been filtering orally through the mayor, who has held a couple of town meetings. Guess I won't try to take the train tonight or ride on that side of the valley.
