On Tuesday morning, the clean-up efforts resumed after the storm in La Chaux-de-Fonds NE on Monday that resulted in one death and around 40 injuries. The authorities urged caution outdoors. Around 200 households were still without electricity. According to Daniel Favre, spokesperson for the Neuenburger Police, the night passed without incident and the main roads were open for traffic. However, train connections to Le Locle and Neuenburg were still interrupted. Additionally, many elements such as trees were not yet secured and around 200 households had to do without electricity. The Helvetia Insurance estimated the damages to be in the low single-digit million range due to the storm, hail and lightning. The wind speeds of over 200 kilometers per hour and the intensity of the storm were particularly noteworthy.
