The 3-year-old girl died, overwhelmed with her family by the fall of a poplar in the camping tent where he spent his holidays in Marina di Massa. The 118-year-old sister tried in vain to revive her at the scene. A 14-year-old sister was taken to the hospital in serious condition, while another 19-year-old girl suffered slight bruising and hospitalization was not necessary. The parents were unharmed. According to what I learned, there were 5 in the tent the tree fell on during a storm with strong wind. 118 self-medics from Massa and Querceta, an ambulance from Massa, police and firefighters intervened in the event. The Pegaso rescue helicopter was also requested to intervene but it was not possible to intervene due to the strong wind.
Storms, hailstorms and strong gusts of wind affect the foothills from this morning in the province of Turin. Among the inhabited centers involved are Piossasco and Cumiana, towards the Pinerolese. A storm hit the capital. In Sestriere, in the mountains, about 2,400 meters snow has fallen.
The work of firefighters teams in Sicily, in the Trapani area and in the Palermo area without stopping, according to a statement from the Corps. In Macari di San Vito lo Capo, in the province of Trapani, the sirocco wind fuels a vast fire of vegetation at night.
The Baia Santa Margherita tourist village and some houses have been evacuated. In Palermo, the great fire continues in the Altofonte area, where a hundred people were evacuated from their homes overnight, highly threatened by the flames.
Since dawn, the Canadairs of the National Fire Department’s fleet have returned to action on the two fires. In the north, fire brigade interventions continue in Veneto due to tornado and rain damage such as fallen and unsafe trees, uprooted structures, landslides: in Vicenza the duty shift was doubled, teams and vehicles were sent in support from Venice, Treviso and Belluno; Reinforcements arrived from Padua to Verona. In the last 24 hours between Lombardy and Veneto more than 1,000 interventions. There are 250 rescue operations carried out in Friuli Venezia Giulia by the Pordenone and Udine commandos, with the support of colleagues from Trieste and Gorizia: uncovered roofs, landslides and people blocked by water in their cars have involved firefighters throughout the night. In Massa Carrara in the morning, a whirlwind affected the coastal area of the province: in the town of Massa Marittima, a tree fell on a tent in a camp, injuring 2 children and an adult. Rescue operations in progress.
Yesterday, a man was overwhelmed by a torrent in the Varese area. Another drowned in the stormy sea. A seventeen-year-old boy injured by the wave of a detached roof from a whirlwind in Genoa. People trapped in a flooded church on the shores of Lake Orta.
Patients from a nursing home in Milan were moved because the roof came off overnight due to wind and rain. Passengers on a blocked train on the Brennero line evacuated in Trentino: these are just some of the damages caused by the continuous waves of bad weather that have hit all the northern regions since yesterday and that show no signs of stopping.
In fact, the alert remains high due to rains, hail and landslides on the day of the counter-exodus in which there were queues and slowdowns for those returning from vacation. Heavy traffic on the A14 between Forlì and Bologna, on the Autosole near Florence and at various points in Emilia, on the autobrennero, on the Rome barrier of the A27, on the A10 between Ventimiglia and Genoa and also in Puglia. The rain and the lightning wind in Versilia have again caused flooding in the streets, especially in Viareggio (Lucca), with significant delays in traffic and inconvenience for the population. Some outdoor events scheduled for the evening have been canceled, given the posted orange alert for weather conditions.
Bad weather, storm over Milan: RSA roof uncovered due to strong wind
It is not only the storms that threaten the territories and the population in these hours. In central and southern Italy, the Corps’ fire teams and air fleet are dedicated to fighting forest fires in the Marches, Tuscany and Sicily. And in Sardinia, as part of an operation by the Forestry Corps to identify those responsible for some fires on the island, thirteen people were investigated and some of them were arrested: they are allegedly employed in the fire fighting operations themselves. But the biggest damage refers above all to bad weather and, in particular, to the drama of the missing person in the Varese area.
To alarm the 38-year-old man, it was a friend who was with him in the area near Lake Delio, and who saw him dragged into the waters of the torrent in full flood. The investigation continued as long as weather conditions allowed. Then, thanks to the torrential rain, they had to stop and will resume tomorrow. Time allows it. In the Spezzino, however, a 51-year-old man drowned in the waters of Punta Bianca: he would have dived with his girlfriend, despite the strong wind and waves. While the woman managed to return to shore, the man would have been sucked in and quickly disappeared into the waves. A similar episode, but not due to bad weather, occurred in Villasimius, Sardinia, where a 39-year-old Polish tourist died of illness after diving into the sea. And the 47-year-old hiker who had not been heard from since last Thursday was found dead in the mountains of Piedmont’s Vigezzo valley.
