Throughout Sardinia, damage, inconvenience and overwork for firefighters and others due to the "windstorm" that hit the island all day Friday.
In Cagliari and in several other cities, the closure of parks and cemeteries has been ordered, while – again in the Cagliari area – the detachment of a large branch caused the temporary closure of the road connecting Assemini and Decimomannu.
Damage also occurred in the Oristano area : in San Nicolò d'Arcidano the violent gusts tore off the roof of a house , but problems were also recorded in many other locations.
In Macomer a tree collapsed in front of the schools , while in Porto Torres the wind caused roofs and even a pier to collapse . Branches and trees also fell in La Maddalena and other towns in Gallura.
The gusts also caused some problems at Alghero airport, with a flight being diverted to Cagliari .
Hundreds of phone calls were made to 115 ( 90 in Sassari and the province alone ) and to the police to report damage, dangerous trees and other risky situations that needed to be made safe.
