Palluel (French pronunciation: [palɥɛl]) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France.[3]
Geography[edit]
Palluel is situated 19 miles (31 km) east of Arras, at the junction of the D21 and D13 roads, in the valley of the river Sensée.
History[edit]
The entire village was rebuilt after the ravages of World War I.
On 24 June 1967 the commune was devastated by a narrow F5 tornado, killing 6 and injuring 30 others. 7 other villages were impacted. 17 homes were completely destroyed, vehicles picked up and thrown over homes and trees severely damaged. Although it reached 250 meters wide, it traveled 23 km.[4][5] This is the most intense tornado to hit France since August 19, 1845 when an F5 tornado hit Montville, killing around 70.[6]
