Genoa – After having renounced the procession and the crucifixes of the brotherhoods due to the anti-Covid provisions, today at guard sanctuary eyes will roll skyward. Waiting for himalert first yellow then orange (the latter from 6 to 18) due to the heavy rains and thunderstorms, they do not force us to change again this year’s great party for the anniversary of the Apparition.
“We want to try to maintain the essential elements, starting with the reading that the Archbishop of Genoa Marco Tasca will make of the Remembrance of the apparition at 10 o’clock – says Monsignor Marco Granara, rector of the Shrine -. It is scheduled in the square, then there will be mass in the basilica, where there are 200 seats, but if it rains a lot we will have to move immediately inside.
Tornado in Voltri last night, slightly injured
Last night, around 10:30 p.m., a small whirlwind blew part of the roof of the Pam in via Don Giovanni Verità onto the street and moved the containers. Firefighters intervened at the scene to secure the structure and local police who closed the road until the firefighters worked. A 17-year-old was slightly injured in the head, who was later transferred to Villa Scassi in the green code.
All the sizes
Today’s two yellow alert brackets will go from midnight to 6 and from 6 to 12 o’clock. The orange in the middle. “The concern is in the storms – explains the municipal councilor with responsibility for Civil Protection Sergio Gambino -. With dry soils, the first heavy rains are not absorbed and could spill onto the roads. But we are ready. There are four vacuum cleaners available “and one will be permanently present at the junction between via Ferri and via Borzoli, in Fegino, where the torrent overflowed last year. I do not think it is necessary, but if electoral banquets are planned in risk areas, we will remind the organizers that they will not be able to mount them.
At the end of the morning today Arpal will issue a new bulletin, with the orange alert there will be 26 local police patrols and at least 11 teams of civil protection volunteers.

Forecasts
In the first part of the day “all the elements will be available for the development of strong, organized and stationary storms, in a context of generalized rains. The storm indices that determine the degree of instability of the atmosphere and therefore the different forms of storms are high and the probable convergences, that is, the contrasts between air masses characterized by different temperatures and winds from opposite directions, could trigger that stationarity capable of letting it rain heavily in the same area for a few hours.
