Traffic to access the capital is uncontrolled, especially at the exit of the ring road at the Sala Abbagnano intersection. In fact, the tunnel on the Via Cosimo Vestuti towards the center had to be closed to traffic, waiting for the road to be cleared of bushes. On social media, dozens of users are posting photos and videos of the spectacular whirlwind.

Genoa, tornado and lightning

A whirlwind struck the Genoese district of Sturla, causing damage even in some neighboring neighborhoods. Firefighters carried out numerous interventions to secure unsafe branches and shingles. In fact, very strong wind gusts caused some trees to fall, tore several gutters and almost exposed the roof of a building.

Piedmont, first snow

First snowfalls in the Piedmont Alps and, in particular, in the Alte Valli Edge up to 1,700-2,000 meters. Once Sestriere was whitewashed, the snow also reached Prali.

According to the forecasts of the Piemonte Meteo Center, the snowflakes will push in the next few hours up to 1,000-1,400 meters in the northwestern bordering sectors of Piedmont, with possible dust formation in high valleys towards France and more abundant flakes above 1,500-2,000 meters. Accumulations of the order of 5 to 10 centimeters are expected; the phenomena will be decidedly more abundant on the French foreign alpine slopes and in Switzerland.
