Strong winds of up to 140 km/h (87mph) have severely hit northern and western France and shut down power supplies and transport services. Both main airports serving Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Orly - are closed for the first time in 34 years.
Hurricane force winds lashed France, knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of households and prompting the closure of Paris' two international airports for the first time in 34 years.
Wind gusts of up to 140 kilometers per hour were recorded on France's Atlantic coast, with forecasters saying they could reach up to 160 kilometers per hour.
Some 300,000 households in western France were without power, the electricity grid operator ERDF said.
With gusts of up to 100 kilometers per hour expected to hit the Paris region, authorities closed the capital's airports for two hours.
All flights to and from the city's two main airports, Charles de Gaulle (Roissy) and Orly, were cancelled and travellers were asked not to head to either of them.

for the two days prior to these hurricane force winds, huge amounts of weather manipulation in the form of aircraft using aerosols occured 500 to 1000 miles west of france. I write a weather diary and mentioned about some serious weather coming after seeeing all these `chemtrails` on the satellite pictures for europe. These pictures i still have and can show anyone who wants what really occured.
this is not global warming. these storms were made intentionally by humans.
in the UK not even one word of french storms has been mentioned on the national news, the hurricane in south france 2 weeks ago was only mentioned very briefly and no mention of hurricane was mentioned.
the authorities are trying to not raise too many eyebrows with the storms they create.
please be aware, this is not idiotic ramblings but a call for help for the earth we live on and the life we take for granted. questions need asking.

the origins of this storm date back to approximatly 09.00 on the 7th of feb, its source the mid atlantic approx 1000 miles west of northwest france. observation of the satellite pictures for europe, both infrared and visual from this time clearly show the rapid formation of equidistant dense predetermined length lines of cloud neatly laid out perfectly parallel to one another. for 7 or 8 hours these kept forming along the same north to south axis and in exactly the same place. these lines however appeared to not move with the winds even though the clouds in this same area moved westwards quickly. the whole event looked totally unnatural from the satellite pictures and immediatly looked like severe weather was on its way to wherever the air currents would take it.
this same area of rippled clouds could be tracked westwards on the next two days satellite images until , voila.
this storm was almost certaintaly not a freak of nature, not global warming but the intentional formation and deliverance of a severe anticyclone storm to a predetermined location.
reason - unkonwn. military, geo engineering. haarp. nato
