The storms that hit various areas of Sardinia yesterday, from Sulcis to Meilogu, were not foreseen by the civil protection radars. Even for today - until 13 - no warnings have been issued, but in the Town Halls the alert is maximum.
The Municipality of Carbonia - a city that ended up under water yesterday - warns that "even for today and tomorrow adverse weather conditions and heavy rains are expected, probably already in the next few hours". The string of mandatory recommendations in these cases follows. One among others: «Be careful when passing under the subway and underpasses, there is the risk of finding yourself with the vehicle semi-submerged or submerged in water».
Clouds still threaten Sardinia from north to south. While the damage count of the violent disturbance that has passed in the past 24 hours is already being done.
«Cherry season compromised in many areas, field crops and vineyards flooded, without forgetting the extensive damage to farms, both to structures and to flocks, with several dead sheep»: Coldiretti said in a note.
«Bonnannaro, Thiesi and Mores are the most affected centers and with the timely intervention of the mayors many administrations have already approved the state of natural disaster. But there are many areas of Meilogu that have experienced dramatic moments under the fury of the water», say the trade association.
«We are close to our member companies and to the communities of the Municipalities affected by this umpteenth wave of bad weather», underlines the president of Coldiretti Nord Sardegna, Battista Cualbu, «Coldiretti is alongside the first citizens who in the past have shown solidarity with our disputes by helping us to achieve our objectives and for this we are indebted to him», he adds, «whoever is responsible, as soon as possible, will verify the damages and their extent».
Heavy structural damage. In Thiesi some niches in the cemetery collapsed and the flood tore through the asphalt of the road leading to Bessude. Furthermore, the 131 ended up underwater in Bonnanaro.
