It derailed at around 12:15, because it seems the bad weather, a train in all Valpolcevera ‘height of the Genoese area of ​​Fegino. This is the White Arrow 9764 Genoa-Turin. They went off the rails the locomotive and the first three carriages. The driver suffered a contusion to the leg. There would be injured. Interrupted line from Genoa to Milan and Turin. The trains run on the line Sampierdarena-Busalla.

Meanwhile, in the morning it started to rain in Genoa: alternate backs are very intense at times when the water stops falling. He does not mention, therefore, still to finish the very critical situation reported by the City of Genoa, which has called on the public not to use the car and leave the lower floors of the houses in the areas most prone to flooding. The Regional Civil Protection has issued an alert Ligurian 2, the highest level, from 11 this morning until midnight today. Disputing the municipalities for failure branch of an alert by Arpal and Civil Protection, which yesterday had been given the status of “notice” (lower level to the state of “alarm 1″) for a scheduled time, which is revealed, however, a cloudburst.

The mayor of Genoa, Marco Doria, noted this inconsistency and now, with his staff, he tries to understand why things have gone well. “We try to understand – explain the mayor’s entourage – why was not given an alert, which in fact turned out to be of intensity” 2 “(which also includes the closure of schools, ed.) The machine hall, however, was enabled, as shown in Civil Protection, just to the level of “warning”, since it was not even reported Alert 1 ‘, which would have at least called to move the cars from areas at risk of flooding and limit the movements.

“This is not the time of the controversy – replied the forecaster dell’Arpal Stefano Gallino – The situation is critical and will remain so until the early hours of tomorrow. There are six storm cells approaching. It’s time to act, not to make controversy. “

The demonstration than was far from imagining a meteorological situation of the size recorded last night, is demonstrated by the fact that the mayor was at the Teatro Carlo Felice, for the opening of the opera season, when, in the night, started the flood. Doria has, therefore, left the theater to get to the command of Civil Protection.

Meanwhile Banca Carige has decided to make available a credit line of 15 million euro for “economic support to all those who have suffered damages” because of the weather.
