Storm on Elba, the Cavo seafront flooded

A storm on Elba this morning, which particularly hit the north-eastern area of ​​the island and especially the hamlet of Cavo, in the municipality of Rio (Livorno), Rio Marina itself and the town of Bagnaia, caused various inconveniences and flooding. As the deputy mayor of Rio, Mattia Guerrini, explains, the Cavo area is currently the most affected. "The part facing the Cavo seafront - says Guerrini - was flooded due to the large quantity of water that fell in a very short time: the Kennedy seafront suffered flooding, but above all the part of the Vespucci seafront where there are various commercial activities experienced the greatest inconvenience". "The civil protection immediately intervened with all the available teams, even those who were at rest, to resolve the problems as quickly as possible". Even in Bagnaia the ditch that crosses the town has reached the alert level, creating apprehension among residents.

The president of Tuscany Eugenio Giani also publishes images of the severe bad weather on the island of Elba on his social networks. "A storm hit the Island of Elba this morning, causing flooding and inconvenience especially in the areas of Cavo, Valle di Riale, Bagnaia and Nisporto - writes Giani - I am close to all the citizens, families and commercial activities affected. The situation requires maximum attention, the yellow alert remains in force until 10am tomorrow morning".
