France - October 23, 2025 A striking video filmed by X user Thomas Soullet Photo shows a hiker struggling against violent winds reaching 187 km/h during Storm Benjamin on October 23, 2025, at the 1,632-meter-high summit of Puy de la Tache. Filmed in dense fog and swirling mist, the footage reveals the hiker in an orange jacket crouching on a steep grassy slope. He clings to nearby rocks as horizontal gusts sweep across the peak, flattening grass and almost erasing visibility. Each wave of wind pushes the hiker off balance, while the air moves in powerful bursts that echo through the fog. The mountain scene becomes a stark display of nature’s strength and the fight to stay upright. Raw audio of the howling wind intensifies the video, capturing the isolation and danger faced in the middle of the storm. The clip stands as a vivid testament to endurance against extreme weather.
