What is That? A Never Seen Natural Catastrophy Before or the Consequences of Totally False Politics of the Italian Government of Giorgia Meloni?
For example: Landslides and disruptions in the southern region of Calabria due to rains. Some municipalities isolated. A car swallowed by a sinkhole and the highway 280 interrupted. And so on.
What is going on in Italy? The effects of the weather crisis in southern Calabria also caused damage and forced rescuers to numerous interventions. Firefighters due to heavy rains have intervened in the provinces of Reggio Calabria and Catanzaro since yesterday afternoon and throughout the night.
Isolated the municipality of Maida (Catanzaro) due to the flooding of a torrent. The most critical situations occurred in the municipalities of Locri and Bianco in the province of Reggio Calabria, and in Lamezia Terme and San Pietro, a Maida in the province of Catanzaro.
In Calabria from 11 p.m. last night, teams from the local detachment along with teams from headquarters and the Taverna volunteer detachment intervened in the Lametino area. At about 4 a.m., considering the numerous requests that reached the Catanzaro operations room, additional teams from the Cosenza and Crotone commands were sent to the Lamezia Terme area. In addition, other units were sent to the scene, which, with pneumatic inflatable boats in their equipment, proceeded to reach some homes that were isolated due to flooding of the roads. As of 7 a.m. there are about 90 pending interventions related to water infiltration and drainage inspections.
State Road 280, which connects Catanzaro to Lamezia Terme, was interrupted in the direction of Lamezia at the height of the “Due Mari” shopping center. A passing car was engulfed by a sinkhole caused by the collapse. The driver of the car, who was damaged in the collapse, was able to get to safety when the sinkhole opened without injury. The collapse caused the closure of the road, a strategic artery because it connects the regional capital with the railway station and the international airport of Lamezia Terme, which operates regularly.
In Emilia-Romagna meanwhile, in the Modena area, bridges that had been closed due to rising river levels have reopened to traffic since 7 a.m. : on the Secchia River, first Ponte Alto and then, at a later date, Ponte dell'Uccellino bridge, between Modena and Soliera. The bridge over the Tiepido in via Curtatona, and the Navicello vecchio bridge over the Panaro, at the junction of provincial road 255 with provincial road 2, still remain closed.
Rainfall caused flooding at the headquarters of the Public Health Department of the Azienda Usl, in Via Vasari, Parma, with a power outage. Technical interventions are underway to restore operations. Meanwhile, it became necessary to suspend vaccination activities for today and tomorrow (citizens booked for these two days are notified by text message or e-mail). As reported in a note released by the state, afternoon's meeting of the driver's license commission for people with disabilities was postponed until Wednesday afternoon.
