Lots of damage

After the brief passage of this episode, elected officials and residents bitterly noted the damage.

Another had its ceiling damaged while the canteen had also suffered the onslaught of water.

Finally, the main road in the town had even been closed to circulation until the next morning, due to a mud persistent present on the roadway. A sad record.

Faced with this observation, a ministerial decree, published on September 23, 2024 at Official Journalrecognizes several municipalities in Eure in a state of natural disaster, including Bézu-Saint-Éloi.
