Maine-et-Loire remains under a red flood alert as water levels on the Maine River in Angers are rising faster than anticipated, potentially exceeding levels seen in January 2000 but remaining slightly below the historic 1995 peak of 6.54 meters. The situation is exacerbated by the depression Pedro, which has brought significant rainfall, and no immediate improvement is expected for several days. The Reculée district in Angers is already submerged, and the tramway system is impacted by the rising waters. Authorities are distributing sandbags to threatened residents, and a 53-year-old man who fell into the Loire River on Tuesday night remains missing. The Premier Minister has pledged swift compensation for flood victims.
