After two days of bad weather in the Nuoro area, the time has come to assess the damage .

In Dorgali the uninterrupted rain caused the level of rainfall to rise to 295 millimeters of water that fell in the municipal area: the figure recorded by the COC is the highest on the island. In the sad balance , between bad roads and extensive damage , even two shepherds, still isolated with their flocks . To reach them this morning the Coldiretti of Nuoro requested the intervention of the prefect Giancarlo Dionisi . " Until the level of the Sa Oche stream drops, a shepherd from Oliena and I cannot return to the village - said the Dorgali breeder Francesco Carta -. It will still take four or five days for the water level to drop and allow us to cross the road, but in the meantime we are out of feed . Coldiretti has requested the activation of a helicopter in the Prefecture: we ask for speed because our sheep need feed immediately".

In the meantime, drinking water has returned to the Municipality: yesterday evening the people of Dorgali were left without it due to the flooding of the lifting pumps of the Su Gologone spring . The provincial road that leads from Cala Gonone to Cala Fuili mare is still closed due to some landslides and the provincial road 46, between Oliena and Dorgali, at the height of the Oloé bridge, the viaduct which collapsed during the flood of the cyclone Cleopatra in 2013 , in which the Nuoro policeman, Luca Tanzi, lost his life and has now been rebuilt.

The heavy rains associated with the storms wiped out the beaches of Cala Luna and Cala Sisine , in the gulf of Orosei, while the opening of the mouth of the Cedrino towards the sea - decided by the Consorzio di Bonifica at the request of the mayors - saved the plain of Galtellì, Irgoli, Onifai and Orosei. In the sad count of damage, flooding and some landslides also in Ogliastra and Nuoro, where a wall collapsed on two cars.
