In North -Italy, the situation is a bit relaxed after the storms of the last days on Saturday. In the 850,000 residents’ town of Turin, the capital of the Piemonte region, all bridges over the Po River were released. However, the longest Italian river still leads much more water than normal at this time of the year.
Further rainfall is expected in different regions, such as the Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy, so that new floods are feared.
There are still a handicap, especially in the mountain areas. According to the energy companies, 2500 households are still cut off the power supply in the Aosta valley. Electricity is still missing in other areas.
Million damage after heavy rainfall
In many cities, people are now busy cleaning up. In some places there is still water on the street. Elsewhere, streets and houses must be freed from schlick and mud.
Moreover, trees were uprooted by the sometimes huge wind. Many cars were also damaged. According to estimates, the damage goes into the millions.
At least three dead
At least three people have been killed in recent days. An accident in the city of Valdagno was particularly tragic, where a car fell into a stream through a hole in a bridge.
The vehicle with two men aged 64 and 21 – father and son – was taken away by the water mass. The corpses were then discovered a few kilometers.
