Two dead after violent thunderstorms in France, 53,000 without power

Two people died in France due to severe thunderstorms, with a woman killed when a tree fell on her in Saint-Victurnien and a man found burned to death in Dolomieu after a lightning strike caused a workshop fire. According to grid operator Enedis, approximately 53,000 households lost power, primarily in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The French meteorological service, Météo-France, has lifted the orange-level storm warning for southeastern regions that had been previously affected, having issued earlier warnings about large hail and strong winds across areas from the Massif Central to the Alps.

Bias read (Center): The article reports on natural disasters and their impact on infrastructure and lives, which is a matter of public concern but does not present any overtly political stance or framing. It provides factual information without apparent ideological emphasis.
