Between early warnings, orange alerts and sudden downpours, bad weather returns

Between closed schools, "water bombs" and a state of pre-alert, bad weather returns. From Sardinia to Liguria passing through Tuscany, Campania, Lazio and Friuli Venezia Giulia. Yesterday the Fire Brigade carried out 370 interventions and the attention remains today too.

Yesterday, several towns in the Nuoro and Sassari areas in Sardinia ended up in the water where numerous floods, static disturbances, tree falls and accidents occurred. What was defined as a real water bomb affected the municipalities of Siniscola, Posada and Orosei, in the province of Nuoro, causing road flooding and making it necessary to evacuate some homes located on the ground floor. Yesterday, 170 interventions were carried out for flooding, fallen trees and rescue for motorists in difficulty. In Siniscola yesterday evening, a family of 5 people who had been stuck in their home due to the rising water level was evacuated.

In Liguria, between the provinces of Genoa and Savona, 100 interventions were carried out for fallen trees, securing unsafe elements from buildings and flooding. In Celle Ligure, the fall of a rock on the roadway of the SS1 Aurelia resulted in the closure of the road in both directions. In Genoa, bad weather caused flooding and damage to some commercial activities.

Bad weather in Tuscany with thunderstorms and lightning affecting the island of Elba and the lower Livorno area. Disturbances are also expected in the Grosseto and Pisa areas.

In Lazio, heavy rains have particularly affected the provinces of Rome and Latina, where firefighters are working to make sure fallen trees, floods and to remove dangerous obstacles are safe.
