As big as tennis balls – Veneto: hailstones damage parked cars

Date:

The northern Italian region of Veneto was hit by severe storms on Wednesday evening. Hailstones the size of tennis balls caused severe damage, authorities said. Firefighters removed fallen trees from the road and secured roofs.

Cars parked in the street were badly damaged by the storm. Firefighters worked all night on Thursday. The municipality of Montebelluna in the province of Treviso, which is best known for the production of Prosecco, was affected.

In addition, the storms also caused great damage in Trentino, especially in the forests. Staatsbosbeheer employees carried out cleaning work and cleaned the roads. The Val di Fassa was particularly affected. Storms in the forests of South Tyrol’s Pustertal Valley had already caused considerable damage on Tuesday.

There was also a storm in Friuli on Wednesday evening. The emergency services reported wind gusts of up to 130 kilometers per hour and hailstorms. In the Croatian capital Zagreb, two people were killed in heavy storms on Wednesday: a 50-year-old pedestrian and a 48-year-old driver.
