This Thursday, August 18, a violent storm shook Corsica, causing the death of five victims. In a press release issued by Monaco Grandstand the day after the tragedy, Prince Albert II of Monaco expressed his compassion.
Five people died, twelve were injured, forty-eight boats ran aground or sank and more than 500 people were rescued. The toll of the storm that hit Corsica on Sunday August 18 is heavy. After the tragedy, Prince Albert II of Monaco expressed his compassion for the victims and their loved ones in a press release published in Monaco Grandstand.
” I want to tell you our deepest sympathy with regard to the dramatic consequences of the violent storms that hit in Corsica. In this painful circumstance, I express my deepest condolences to you and testify to the families of the victims, to the injured and to all those bereaved by this tragedymy feelings of deep sympathy”writes His Serene Highness in the missive addressed to Gilles Simeoni, the President of the Corsican Executive Council.
In a separate statement identified by The world this Monday, August 22, the government body presents the need to analyze the situation after crisis management. Météo France announced the violent gusts which swept over the Île-de-beauté only a few minutes before. The council plans to install “offshore measurement buoys” in order to anticipate the violence of an upcoming storm and avoid this particularly dangerous effect of surprise at sea.

Prince Albert II and Charlene attached to Corsica
The princely couple of the Rock are very attached to the French island. After being hospitalized for several months in Switzerland, it was in Corsica that Charlene took refuge. Under the scent of clementine trees, she regained her strength after the intense psychophysical fatigue that had struck her on her return from South Africa. Prince Albert likes to anchor in Corsican waters. At the beginning of August, he was thus seen with the twins, Gabriella and Jacques, in his yacht off the coast.
