If the South and Sardinia are still hot from Charon's backlash, a storm of rain, hail and wind hit Milan and Brianza today .
Subway closed, tram lines diverted, trees and panels in stations uprooted.
And unfortunately also a victim, in Lissone, in the province of Monza. It is a 58-year-old who was going to work: the woman had sheltered waiting for the storm to end but when she moved she was crushed by a large tree that suddenly fell on her.
Some passers-by raised the alarm, but the rescuers who arrived on the spot were only able to ascertain his death.
In Legnano three people were injured by trees falling on cars .
Milan itself was hit by a strong storm that caused trees to fall, with the consequent damage to some sections of the electricity supply network for vehicles, as Atm explained, and forced the closure of some roads. Trenord also announced "damage to the infrastructure": the railway lines to Como, Lecco and Sondrio were blocked due to "serious damage to the Monza station".
A near tragedy in the skies above Malpensa : Delta DL 185 flight bound for New York, immediately after take-off, was hit by a storm so much so that the plane suffered "some damage" - says the company itself - and was diverted for an emergency landing at Fiumicino airport.
