Flooded homes, trapped motorists, roads that turned into torrents, landslides: torrential rains and cloudbursts hit some areas of Campania late yesterday afternoon, especially the provinces of Caserta and Avellino.
The damage was extensive and two people were missing, a 74-year-old woman and her 42-year-old son. The two were on board an Apecar: the three-wheeled vehicle was overwhelmed by a landslide of mud and debris and was found in a ravine. Some homes were evacuated.
Heavy damage also in Irpinia, in particular in Baiano, Mugnano del Cardinale and Sirignano. Heavy rain in the afternoon also in Bologna, with a lightning strike on a restaurant in Granarolo Emilia, causing the roof to catch fire.
Bad weather also caused disruption in the province of Forlì, while trees fell in the Modena area due to strong winds; dozens of interventions by firefighters.
Bad weather also in the Pisa area with fallen trees and two brush fires caused by lightning.
