Tornado on the Salento coast during the night, damage to bathing establishments

A violent storm with strong gusts of wind hit Lecce and the marinas during the night. The hardest hit is Frigole, crossed by the passage of a whirlwind. The boundary wall of the Lido Smeraldo on the Attilio Mori seafront collapsed, where trees also fell onto the road, one of which ended up in front of the nursery and primary school. Damage was also recorded at the Molo 13 beach, where around twenty trees fell in the pine forest.

The structure's wooden gazebo was also torn down.

Firefighters, Civil Protection volunteers, municipal technical staff and Lupiae Servizi are still engaged in emergency response activities. Also pay attention to the underpasses of the eastern ring road where road landslides have been recorded.
