Liguria

A building threatened by a large landslide in the municipality of Carasco, in the province of Genoa, was evacuated during the night. Ten people had to abandon their homes supported by the firefighters and civil protection: some found shelter in the homes of family members, others were placed in the room of the municipal library set up with some cots and blankets. The landslide affects the San Quirico di Rivarolo area. The Metropolitan City has ordered the closure of provincial road 33 towards San Salvatore di Colorno to traffic. The firefighters also intervened in via Casanova, in Manesseno, in the municipality of Sant'Olcese (Genoa), to remove a landslide that isolated around twenty people.

Tuscany

Relatively quiet night due to the bad weather in Tuscany where the flood waves of the Ombrone Pistoiese, Bisenzio and Serchio rivers passed without any particular problems. The levels of the Arno river, as explained by the Toscana Alert social channel of the Tuscany Region, are currently within the reference levels. In consideration of the intense rains of the last few hours and the flood waves of the tributary rivers, increases will be possible. The flood wave of the Pistoia Ombrone passed during the night with the activation of the Ponte alle Vanne expansion tank system, reaching a level of 3.53 meters in Pontelungo, a new historical maximum. The flood of the Serchio passed through Borgo a Mozzano (Lucca) with a flow rate of 1238 cubic meters per second.
