The rain save the Liguria, beats strong for a couple of hours, but it is the wind that generates tornadoes that cut down the trees, a crane in via Donato Somma, scoperchiano roofs from Sant’ilario up to La Spezia, to put the knee of the Liguria region. A wind that pulls up to 166 at the time of the Sori, blocks the activity in the harbour, leaving in the dark of 4000 people and he thrusts in the hinterland, up to Montoggio and the Door. It is a wind that does not spare anything, that causes severe damage to greenhouses and olive trees, even putting at risk the production of basil. A day of Alert Red that has put a strain on the civil protection of the Municipality and the Regional call to help with the fire department 500 passengers trapped on two trains. “The highest degree of alert has avoided disasters, the worst, not so much to things, but to the people – intervenes in the evening, councillor James Giampedrone –.

The situation heavy transport.

The trumpet of the air, in fact, caused the disconnection of the electricity supply line of the trains and the fall of a tree, blocking the Nerves, the line between Brignole and Sestri Levante (Genova-La Spezia). Involved eight trains, including the Intercity 35370 (Livorno-Milan) and two regional.

The line will be blocked again today for the routes in the regional were placed at the disposal of the shuttle buses that leave from Brignole and Principe, while for those long-distance trains are diverted from Pisa and Florence, by the road to Milan, from where he returned to Genoa, in order to bypass the node in the levante genovese. Today stop also the train of Box for a tree that has fallen in the area of Pantaleo: Amt has secured a bus as a replacement.

Returning to the

damage, the wind has hit hard in Nervi and Recco, where they have been damaged many homes and has registered the highest number of injured. “In piazza Duca degli Abruzzi – explains the councillor for civil protection, and Gianni Crivello at the end of the inspection, Nervi and Sant’ilario– fell various trees, also in the park of Nervi, the wind has uprooted trees. But the most serious situation is in Sant’ilario, where many houses are found with the roofs, roofless, as also happened to Castelluccio where is the Foundation Garaventa. We have provided our support and we are ready to follow them in the procedures of safety”.

In the levante, Portofino serious damage on the famous Square: the wind has created problems for the moored boats and ripped through the tents and facilities of the restaurants that overlook the docks. The road to Portofino was stopped by a landslide that occurred at Paraggi, a short walk from the villa of the Berlusconi family. At the Blackboard, to cause a trumpet blast of air, they collapsed a wall and an infrastructure in the way of the Devout, in the midst of the warehouses of the shipyards. To Avegno two people were affected by the tiles that had fallen from the roofs, while in Lumarzo a tree collapsed on a car: so much fear and no one injured. The wind has caused serious damage to greenhouses and olive trees, even putting at risk the production of basil. “Strong gusts” – explains Coldiretti – have damaged the greenhouses, starting with the basil Pdo, and the roofs of rural buildings and broken branches of the olive trees, in the middle collection period. This is an area of over fifty kilometres in length, which in the past had already been hit hard. We are facing a sudden capsize of the time, consequent to the climate change act, which in Italy is manifested by repeated phase shifts, seasonal and extreme events, even with the rapid transition from drought to flood, rainfall, short and violent, accompanied by hail, with heavy effects on agriculture in the last ten years it has suffered damage to 14 billion euros, due to the vagaries of time”.
